Ajmer is all set for major Sufi festival that will start from 26 June. The city is full with kalandars, devotees and fakirs, who have come for the 797th Urs of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz Chishti. The Gori family of Bhilwara will officially inaugarate the festival by hoisting the Urs flag on 19 June 2009. “Sufi saint Khwaja Garib Nawaz gave the message of love. People from all religions participate in the Urs,” said S F Hussein Chishti, a khadim. People have walked all the way from Bhopal, Delhi, UP and other parts of the country. They want to show their complete devotion to the Khwaja. The dargah bazaars are decorated with clothes, sweets and toys.
Arrangements for their guests are on progress while the district administration is taking steps to ensure the safety and comfort of the devotees. Two special magistrate camps will be set up around the dargah. They will be functioning 24 hours from June 24. Western railways have started special trains, which will run from Angola, Nizamabad, Hawara and Siyaldah to Ajmer. Ajmer urs will start mainly from 26 or 27 June 2009 as per moon conditions.
