KhatuShyam Ji Mela Shortened to 8 Days; QR Codes for Devotee Convenience

• The KhatuShyam Ji Phalguni Lakhi Mela will run for 8 days, from February 21 to February 28, a reduction from last year's 12 days.
• QR codes will be introduced to guide devotees on routes and parking, enhancing convenience for the estimated 30 lakh attendees.
• Sikar District Collector Mukul Sharma explained the reduction is due to low devotee turnout in the initial days and better resource utilization.
• Local residents can use Aadhar cards for movement; multiple parking areas, including 52 Bigha, are designated.
• Special control room numbers will be issued before the fair for better management and security.
