Khatu Shyam Mela 2025: Significance Of Falgun Lakhi Mela
The Khatu Shyam Falgun Mela is a 7-day celebration, but the festivities begin even before the official start date of Phalgun Shukla Shashthi. The excitement kicks off with the Shobha Yatra and Nishan Yatra, a vibrant procession that showcases the grandeur of Baba Shyam.
The highlight of the Falgun Mela is on Ekadashi (Amalaki Ekadashi) when devotees reach a frenzy of enthusiasm and devotion. The mela attracts millions of devotees from across India, who come to seek the blessings of Baba Shyam. Interestingly, the Falgun Mela is also known as the Lakkhi Mela, where devotees offer lakhs (hundreds of thousands) of rupees to the deity as a token of their devotion and gratitude.
