From bhajans and religious programmes to Deepotsav celebrations and dazzling laser shows, the city will vibrate with the spirit of devotion. Expect vibrant processions and the sweet offering of 1001 kg of Motichur Laddu prasad. A spectacular fireworks display at Kranti Chowk and a felicitation ceremony for Karsevaks will be held.
