The annual Urs Mubarak of famous Sufi saint Hazrat Sheikh Dawood Sahib (RA) popularly known as Batmol Sahib (RA) observed with zeal in Srinagar.
Devotees thronged the shrine wearing mask to offer prayers.
The devotees including women, men, children, and old were seen paying obeisance and offering special prayers at the shrine.
Forming an integral part of Indian ethos for the last several centuries, even today the Sufi traditions play an important role in the lives of the people and connote them with an understanding of the world in all its spiritual dimensions.
"Not just Batmol areas, but people from different dimensions come here to attend this celebration.
You must have seen that there are Sikhs community as well as pandits to offer prayers," said Firdous Masood, Member of Urs Committee.
