PARASIA: Following the annual tradition, the Hindu Utsav Samiti Parasia organized a grand celebration to mark the birth anniversary of Lord Rama. The committee, which has been hosting this event for the past nine years, commenced the festivities with daily "Prabhat Pheris" at 5:00 AM throughout Chaitra Navratri, filling the city with the resonance of Ram Naam Sankirtan. The celebrations reached a peak with a vibrant DJ Night on March 26, followed by a massive Shobhayatra (procession) on the occasion of Ram Navami on March 27.
Thousands of devotees joined the procession, which featured a diverse array of captivating tableaus, including depictions of Adiyogi, Lord Rama, Hanuman Ji, and Mata Sita in Ashok Vatika. A major highlight that garnered significant public attention was the magnificent tableau presented by the Brahmin Samaj Parasia, dedicated to the historic legacy and spiritual tradition of the Jagadguru Shankaracharyas of the four holy Dhams. The inclusion of a "Mahila Dhamal Party" also served as a unique attraction this year. The event concluded at Guru Govind Chowk with a grand display of fireworks and the collective recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa. Notably, the Hindu Utsav Samiti’s event is known for its inclusive nature, bringing together leaders from all political parties to participate in the religious festivities.
