On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a chadar at the dargah of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz in Ajmer on the occasion of the ongoing 814th annual Urs. Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju arrived in Ajmer with the chadar sent by the Prime Minister and presented it at the dargah in a traditional manner.
After the chadar presentation, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju read out the Prime Minister's message to the nation at the Buland Darwaza.
For this event, strict security arrangements were made in and around the dargah premises, with a large police contingent present.
Earlier, while speaking to the media at the Circuit House, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the chadar was on behalf of the Prime Minister, the government, and the nation. He further stated that as a member of the Prime Minister's cabinet, he had personally attended the shrine and any message he conveyed would be the Prime Minister's message. Considering himself fortunate, he said he had the opportunity to visit the Ajmer dargah and pray for peace, tranquility, and brotherhood in the country.
After presenting the chadar, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister Bhagirath Choudhary, Minister Suresh Rana, and other public representatives arrived at the Mahfil Khana. The son of the dargah diwan, Nasiruddin Chishti, welcomed them and congratulated them on the Urs. Prayers were offered for peace, harmony, and prosperity in the country. The khadims also presented a pagri and tabarruk.
On the occasion of the Urs, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) national president and Union Minister Chirag Paswan also presented a chadar at the dargah. The chadar was presented by the party's national general secretary, Mohammad Sabir. Khadim Zohur Baba Chishti facilitated their visit. During the chadar presentation, prayers were offered for peace and prosperity in the country, following Sufi traditions.
The 814th Urs began on Sunday with the sighting of the moon. Hundreds of thousands of devotees from across the country and abroad are visiting the Ajmer dargah for the Urs. The Janti Darwaza, which is usually closed, has also been opened for devotees on the special occasion.
