KhatuShyam Mela: The Secret of Surajgarh's 'White Flag' and the Miracle that Scared British Rule

• Khatu Dham in Sikar, Rajasthan, is hosting the Phalguna Lakkhi Mela, drawing millions of devotees.
• The fair culminates on February 28 (Dwadashi) with the arrival of the sacred 'Nishan' (flag) from Surajgarh.
• The Surajgarh Nishan is a special white flag with Baba's blue horse, carried 152 km on foot by devotees, including women with burning 'sigri' on their heads.
• This 377-year-old flag is linked to a miracle where it opened the temple's locks during British rule, leading to the British bowing down.
• Only the Surajgarh white flag is hoisted on the temple's main spire, symbolizing a unique bond and flying year-round.
