Faqeer Parbirham Mela
The festival is usually celebrated in the first week of June. The main ritual in the festival is the Chharhi Saheb Yatra and the sighting of the jyoti (light or flame). The Chharhi Saheb Yatra is the procession of devotees led by a man carrying the Chharri (elaborately decorated "trishul") to the temple in Verhi Jhap. The Chharri symbolises the spiritual power of the Shri Parbirham Sahib. During the procession, devotees recite religious chant. The next ritual is the sighting of the jyoti. It is a mysterious flame that is said to rise from a thick bush tree near the temple after the sunset. The devotees wait for hours to witness the Jyoti.[4]
