Sainj Valley - Shangarh
Unbeknown to us, we had arrived on the auspicious day of Baisakhi. On this day, the idol of Shangchul Mahadev Devta is carried out on a palanquin for a ceremonial procession to the sound of drums and trumpets. We were lucky we got to witness this temple ritual.
We visited the place on 14th April, 2018.
