Patiala- The phrase "Hathi Ghoda Palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki" echoed as the Sudhar Sabha Sri Kedar Nath Ji celebrated Janmashtami with great fervor at the ancient Sri Kedar Nath Temple in the presence of Bhole Baba. On this occasion, at 6:30 PM, prasad of yellow sweet rice and black chickpeas was offered in the temple. The prasad was organized by Sri Tajinder Mahinta, President of Patiala Urban Aam Aadmi Party, Municipal Councillor of Ward No. 34, and Chairman of Patiala Town Planner, along with Aman Bansal, Block President, and his team, who arranged an uninterrupted langar (community kitchen).
Due to the installation of Bhole Baba’s idol, a large number of devotees gathered, and there was a continuous queue to swing Lord Krishna’s cradle and offer prayers. After the cradle ceremony, Iqbal Singh Shanti performed the service of distributing floral prasad. A long line of devotees also formed to have darshan (sacred viewing) of Bhole Baba. During the event, Balwinder Chauhan, son of Poonam Khajanchi, mesmerized the devotees with the bhajan “Mere Baake Bihari Lal, Itna Na Kario Shringar, Tujhe Nazar Lag Jayegi,” leaving the audience enchanted and spiritually uplifted. Ranjit Singh Chandok, Municipal Councillor of Ward No. 32, was present for a long time to listen to this bhajan and, being pleased, rewarded the performer.
On this occasion, the Sudhar Sabha announced that the monthly Tirosadi celebration will take place on August 21.
