Shri Sai Dham, Sector 29, today organised a grand ‘Sai Baba Palki Shobha’ and ‘Rath Yatra.’

Raju Rajasthani from Hisar and his troupe performed Shiva Leelas, complete with breathtaking stunts, which emerged as the main attraction.

Devotees gathered in large numbers along the route to welcome the procession. Temple Committee chairman Ramesh Kalia said the Palki Shobha Yatra began at 1 pm, after Baba’s midday aarti, from the temple premises. The procession passed through Sectors 30, 20, 21, 22, Aroma Light Point, and Sectors 35, 34, 33 and 32, before concluding back at the temple.

Baba’s Dhup Aarti was later performed at 6 pm in front of the Terrace Garden, Sector 33.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
