Environmental lovers from across the country inaugurated the mela with a traditional ritual of ‘Yagya havan’. Mohanlal Khileri, the President of Shri Guru Jambheshwar Sevak Dal, opened the mela to the public at 8 a.m.
On the first day of the mela, recitations and hymns of Jambhoji and Pahal are recited. Thousands of devotees, especially the Bishnoi community, take the pledge to abstain from drugs and live a drug-free life.
