100 Indian pilgrims were granted visas by Pakistan on November 21 so they could attend the 314th-anniversary celebrations of Shiv Avtari Satguru Sant Shadaram Sahib in Sindh province. From November 22 to December 3, the pilgrims will go to Shadani Darbar in Hayat Pitafi.
In accordance with the 1974 Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines, pilgrims from both nations are permitted to cross the border each year to visit some shrines.
A party of about 100 people from various cities in Pakistan welcomed the 99 pilgrims who arrived in Pakistan on November 22, according to Kaka Kailash Jot, a member of the Shadani Darbar team to welcome the Indians.
Darbar Shadani
Shadani Darbar is thought to be the biggest Hindu temple in Pakistan’s Sindh province and is situated in Hayat Pitafi, Ghotki district. Sant Shadaram Sahib, whose anniversary the pilgrims have traveled to commemorate, was founded in 1786.
According to Jot, his family has followed Shadani Darbar for four generations. Hayat Pitafi is where Jot was born. His father has authored a number of books regarding the history of the Darbar. Muslims have long been among the numerous devotees drawn to this sanctuary. There has been religious tolerance and prosperity in Sindh for a thousand years.
Jot, who now resides in the neighboring town of Daharki, was born in Hayat Pitafi. He claimed that in addition to visiting Shadani Darbar, Indian pilgrims would also go to the Nankana Sahib and shrines in Jarwar, Adilpur, and Khanpur Mehar, among other places.
The Shadani Darbar will handle their travel, lodging, etc., but the Pakistani government will take care of their security needs.
