Akhnoor, June 15 -- A vibrant and deeply spiritual celebration of the traditional Dogri festival Tamdeh (Ashad Sankranti) was held with great fervor in Jayanti village of Targwal Panchayat, Akhnoor. The festival, organized by the Baral Brahmin community, saw hundreds of devotees gather at the revered Bua Dati temple to participate in age-old rituals and festivities.
The day began with sacred havan-yagya and traditional worship, followed by the devotional Chowki of Bua Dati, which turned the temple premises into a center of spiritual devotion. A special community feast (bhandara) was organized in the afternoon, where the locally cherished sweet dish Meethi Siyaan was served - a symbolic delicacy of this sacred occasion.
