The faithful travelers from Hugli, West Bengal, gathered in large numbers at Ajgaibinath Dham, Bhagalpur, to begin their annual Kanwar pilgrimage. Despite Chotu’s absence, his presence was felt through a framed photograph that the group treated as a living participant. The photo was bathed in the Ganga, prayers were recited, and a kanwar was filled with holy water bearing his name. The procession then moved to Deoghar, where the devotees performed a water abhishek for Lord Baidyanath, expressing that Chotu’s spirit traveled with them.
