Ajmer’s Ashok Vihar Colony, specifically Gali No. 7, was enveloped in a profound atmosphere of devotion this Sunday morning. The Mahakal Group's dedicated Shiva devotees arrived, completing their spirited Dak Kawad yatra from Pushkar, culminating in a sacred Abhishek ceremony at the ancient Shiva temple.

The journey began early in Pushkar, with the Mahakal Group’s Kawariyas setting off towards Ajmer. In a remarkable display of devotion and endurance, they covered the distance in approximately 40 minutes, running with their sacred Kawads. The air vibrated with energetic chants of 'Jai Bholenath' set to lively DJ music, transforming the route into a vibrant spectacle of faith.

Fervent Welcome at Ancient Shiva Temple

Upon reaching the ancient Shiva temple in Gali No. 7, the devotees proceeded with the traditional जलाभिषेक (Jalabhishek) of Lord Shiva. This ritual, performed amidst Vedic chants and traditional customs, marked the spiritual highlight of their journey. Local residents of the area came out in large numbers, showering the arriving Kawariyas with flowers and offering a grand, heartfelt welcome, reflecting immense reverence and enthusiasm.

The Shiva temple itself holds significant historical value, believed to be 50 to 55 years old, and is currently undergoing renovation work. This year marked a special occasion as it was the first time the Mahakal Group had organized such a Dak Kawad yatra, adding a unique chapter to the temple’s recent history.

The success of this inaugural Dak Kawad event is largely attributed to the leadership and collective efforts of the Mahakal Group members, spearheaded by Jaideep Khatri and Yogesh Aludiya. Their dedication ensured a seamless and spiritually enriching experience for all involved, maintaining an atmosphere of devotion and excitement throughout the region.
