As the grand festivities of Mandi Shivratri draw to a close, a sacred ritual marks the completion of the celebrations—barely powder, sanctified in the Lord’s name, is tossed into the air, sealing divine blessings upon the valley for the year ahead. This act symbolizes gratitude, devotion, and the continued grace of the Almighty. The sacred offering becomes a cloak of protection, ensuring prosperity, peace, and spiritual fulfillment until the festival returns once more.
Handful of barley,
crushed, sanctified by Thy name.
Cloak of protection,
Thy blessings cast in the air.
The valley smeared in Thy love.
Welfare unto all
Rab rakha
