Every evening, there is the ritual lighting of lamps known as roshni ceremony. Candle stands are taken from the corner of the complex and the ‘chiragi’, a special prayer, is sung by the khadims inside the sanctum sanctorum. At this time no outsiders are allowed inside the mazar. (Image # 20090), Year 2010.
