Govind Bhai Vaishnav Performs
The well-known bhajan singer Govind Bhai Vaishnav and his team gave a melodious performance that filled the venue with devotion.
Who Is Shri Kheteshwar Data
Shri Kheteshwar Maharaj is revered as the patron saint of the Rajpurohit samaj, and his Brahmadham stands at Asotra in the Balotra region. Members of the samaj address him as “Data”. For Rajpurohit families settled in Ahmedabad, events held in his name are bound up with the collective identity of the samaj.
Holding the Event in the Chowk
Holding the event in the open chowk of the neighbourhood allows every family nearby to join in easily and widens the reach of the gathering.
The Collective Identity of the Samaj
Holding regular events in the name of a patron saint strengthens the collective identity of any samaj. It is through these gatherings that the younger generation comes to know the history and traditions of its own community.
