District authorities have declared a local holiday on October 1 to commemorate the Urs of Sufi saint and poet Hazrat Khawaja Ghulam Farid.

The annual Urs attracts thousands of devotees nationwide who gather for spiritual gatherings and events paying tribute to Khawaja Ghulam Farid and his poetic legacy.
