Every Gudi Padva, two men balance the traditional Kalash of the Goddess Saptashati Bhumika in their heads as they walk barefoot from Poriem to Sakhali. The steady beats of drums guide their journey, creating a rhythmic atmosphere that resonates through the path. Along the way, they halt at the Hazrat Babar Peer Dargah, a significant stop in this 500-year-old tradition. Here, the Maulana offers them the traditional Kavl and garlands. It is believed that the Kalash never proceeds without receiving flowers from the Muslim community, symbolizing the deep-rooted unity between communities. This tradition stands as a powerful reminder of coexistence, diluting debates on religious intolerance. The harmonious exchange at the dargah reflects the essence of shared respect and cultural unity.
