Shobha Yatra taken out on eve of Guru Ravidas Jayanti

A vibrant sense of devotion and unity unfolded as thousands gathered to celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas. City streets, bathed in the soft glow of dawn, resonated with devotional melodies and the fragrant aroma of incense, setting the stage for the grand Shobha Yatra procession.

There was excitement in the air as the procession formed. Elaborately decorated floats —- each a miniature work of art —- depicted scenes from the life of Guru Ravidas and his teachings. Their vibrant colours and intricate designs captivated the onlookers. The Shobha Yatra commenced its journey, weaving through the city’s heart. Devotees, their voices raised in hymns and chants, followed the floats, creating a moving river of faith.

Along the route, residents lined up the streets, some watching from rooftops, others offering prayers and refreshments from makeshift stalls, all eager to participate in the joyous occasion. The procession culminated at a large gathering point, where a vast crowd of devotees waited.
