Kids were carrying Bhagawa flags ahead of Palakhi. Shri Maharaj was accompanying with Silver Raj Dand, Beautiful Umbrella and Chanvar. Shri Maharaj paduka and Gajanan Vijay Granth also kept in Palakhi.. Whole atmosphere was filled with Gajanan Naam Gajar and even American enthusiastically tried to understand the process and about Shri Gajanan Maharaj.
