JAMMU, Nov 29: The three-day-long Bawa Bhair Dev Mela, held at its Devsthan in Katal Bataal, Nagrota, concluded on a high note, fostering communal harmony and brotherhood among the masses. Approximately 100,000 pilgrims from various parts of the country participated in the mela, seeking the blessings of Baba Bhairdev. The event, which aimed to promote spiritual well-being, featured a hawan conducted by renowned scholars and chelas of Babaji Joginder Singh, chanting Vedic mantras. A langar (community kitchen) was organized within the Devsthan premises, providing sustenance for the pilgrims during the mela.
