Coming up

Jalaram Jayanti

Monday 16 November · Kartik Sud 7


Jalaram Jayanti holds particular meaning for the Lohana community. Jalaram Bapa was born in Virpur in 1799 into a Lohana family, and spent his life feeding anyone who came to his door, a practice his followers continue today.

Many Lohana families mark the day by fasting, and by giving food.
