On this three-day festival mock battles are held followed by music and poetry competitions. There are also a number of durbars where Sri Guru Granth Sahib is present and kirtan and religious lectures take place. Sporting shining swords, long spears, conical turbans, the Nihangs present a fierce picture as they gallop past on horseback spraying colors on people. On the last day a long procession, led by Panj Pyaras, starts from Takth Keshgarh Sahib, one of the five Sikh religious seats, and passes through various important gurdwaras like Qila Anandgarh, Lohgarh Sahib, Mata Jitoji and terminates at the Takth. Raw materials like wheat flour, rice, vegetables, milk and sugar is provided by the villagers living nearby.
Women volunteer to cook and others take part in cleaning the utensils.
