A large number of devotees today converged on the Bala Hisar tomb of Baba Bulleh Shah to celebrate the 28th Urs of the revered Punjabi Sufi poet with enthusiasm and fervour.

Devotees offered chadar on the tomb of the mystic poet and sought his blessings on the occasion.

The festivities began with chief priests offering prayers on the tomb and performing the rituals early in the morning. Members of the Urs Samiti also offered a chadar and sought blessings from the seer. A qawwali presented by Shajid Sajan Babu Ghoongroowale enthralled the devotees.

Later, a bhandara was organised for devotees.

President of the Samiti Advocate A Rab said the preaching of Baba Bulleh Shah were based on peace, love and harmony with nature and were much more significant today in the environment of intolerance and war prevalent in the country.

Members of the committee Harbhajan Thakral, Manjoor Ahmed, former MLA Jot Singh Gunsola, MC president Manmohan Singh Mall, former MC president OP Uniyal and others attended the Urs.
