Thousands of footprints etched a mini Kumbh of devotion in the foot pond; there wasn't enough space left in the pandal.

Devotees applauded the Garbas dedicated to the bravery and de-addiction of the valiant warrior Shivaji.

Thousands of feet dancing to the Garbas simultaneously, a throng of devotees everywhere, colorful traditional attire unifying India's religious culture, the venue falling short despite grand arrangements, and the pandal packed with people. These scenes are deepening the unforgettable spirit of devotion at the state's renowned pilgrimage site, Shri Vaneshwar Maruti Nandan Kutir Hanuman Temple, on the map of Madhya Pradesh.

Present as chief guests were Mahant Dayaram Das Maharaj of Shri Hanuman Ashram in Pipilkhuta, along with numerous saints and students from the Sanskrit College, former Union Minister Kantilal Bhuria, Congress District President Prakash Ranka, District Panchayat Chairperson Mrs. Sonam Jaswant Bhabar, BJP General Secretary Gaurav Khandelwal, Rajesh Vasunia, senior journalists Naresh Pratap Singh, Mahesh Prajapat, Dinesh Padiyar.

Senior members of the Shri Vaneshwar Maruti Nandan Hanuman Temple Navratri Festival Committee and popular social workers Suresh Chandra Puranmal Jain, Pappu Bhaiya, and Rajesh Rinku Jain reported that devotees from far and wide are arriving at Foottalav to have darshan of the Goddess. A grand aarti is performed followed by hymns in praise of the Goddess. Crowds are also arriving from the district as well as several other districts of the state to participate and watch the Garba. On Tuesday night, the main road to the Foottalav event was completely lined with long queues of vehicles.

People were unable to even reach the Garba pandal. Social workers Suresh Jain and Rinku Jain made additional seating arrangements, but the crowd was so large that the pandal proved too small. People from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and several other districts of the state arrived to witness the event. People were seen praising the arrangements and discipline of the event. A Garba group from Gujarat performed the grand aarti of the Goddess with the chief guests using 1,100 lamps. Awesome Garba here And Dance Group Thandla presented tableaux of emotional deeds on the life of Veer Shivaji. Along with this, Meghraj and his friends from Kalyanpur presented Garba on de-addiction and appealed to the people to stay away from drugs. The chief guests and Mr. Jain awarded prizes to both the groups for their performances. The enthusiasm of Garba reached its peak on the Garba Pankhida Itni Shakti Hume Dena Data Paawali Lene Hoon To Pavagadh Gayi Thi Thara Bina Shyam Mane Dakor Thakur sung by India's famous Garba singer Apurv Shah.
