Setting an example of social solidarity, the Hindus and Muslims of Daulatabad has taken the decision to maintain communal harmony. Eid-E-Milad and Ganesh immersion are being celebrated on Thursday. In this backdrop, the Muslims have decided to organised their traditional procession on Saturday instead of Thursday. Similarly, considering the large influx of devotees coming to Khuldabad for Jar-Jar-Jari Baksh Urs at Khuldabad, the Hindu brethren have decided to organise the Ganesh immersion procession on Friday.
