Adding to the spectacle, Jayaraj Ahir, son of noted folk artist Mayabhai Ahir, was also present at the event and joined those showering money during the performance.
According to organisers, the money offered during the programme was not for personal gain and would instead be used for religious purposes, donations, and service-related activities linked to spiritual events.
They stated that the amount collected during the gathering would go towards community welfare and future religious programmes.
The event was organised as part of a religious programme linked to a Bhagavad Gyan Yagya, where folk music and devotional bhajans were performed under the Prayagraj Group in Khambhaliya.
Kaviraj Jignesh, known for devotional performances rooted in folk traditions, performed bhajans centred around Lord Krishna, friendship, and spirituality, creating an atmosphere that was both devotional and celebratory.
