Pune: In today’s fast-paced world, finding time even for meeting each other is a challenge, let alone visiting temples or participating in religious ceremonies. This is particularly true for the younger generation. However, the Brotherhood Foundation has proven this notion wrong. They have not only immersed people in the river of faith but also facilitated the darshan of Lord Khatu Shyam right in Pune.
The event was “ek sham Saawariya ke naam”, held at the Vardhman Cultural Lawn in Gangadham. It featured renowned bhajan singer Kanhaiya Mittal and the rising talent Gaurav Parik, who enchanted the audience with their powerful voices. Around 5,000 devotees gathered to experience the devotion unfold through music. Kanhaiya Mittal led the crowd into a fervent display of devotion with one popular hymn after another dedicated to Lord Khatu Shyam, with attendees not only humming along but also dancing with abandon. The entire venue seemed to be drenched in the hues of devotion.

The stage was beautifully adorned with an exquisite idol of Lord Khatu Shyam. Its captivating decoration was a sight to behold, and the deity was also offered ‘Chhappan Bhog’. Devotees thronged to seek blessings, with nearly 5,000 people, predominantly from the Agarwal community, attending the religious ceremony.
The crowd was diverse, encompassing children, elders, women, and the youth; no one stayed behind. Kanhaiya Mittal created such an enchanting atmosphere that everyone was deeply immersed in the devotion, losing themselves in the spiritual fervor. Everyone seemed to be moving rhythmically, completely absorbed in the worship of Lord Khatu Shyam.
