The chariots offered a divine spectacle, drawing the attention of the thousands of devotees who lined the streets to witness the procession.

Shri Panchayati Akhara Maha Nirvani is renowned not just for its spiritual leadership but also for its progressive approach to women’s empowerment. The Akhara has long upheld the tradition of inclusivity, and it was the first Akhara to appoint a female Maha Mandaleshwar.
