The winter is stuck in the misty night wind and dripping dew. The streets are empty. Silence has descended on the city life as well. But there is an exception in Tongir Turagati. Thousands of worshipers are still busy in the huge Ijtema field. Some are busy cooking, some are bathing, some are busy in worship. The lingering winter or the stillness of the night—nothing scratched there.
This picture was seen at the Ijtema ground yesterday at 2:30 am. This year’s Biswa Ijtema is ending with the last prayer on Sunday.
At 2:40 in the night, Iztema walked along the 3rd walkway, people and people under huge canopies on both sides. Many have fallen asleep with a blanket wrapped around them. As he was walking, he suddenly heard a soft cry. A man in his sixties is praying in the dim light on one side of the khitta (locally designated place). He was pleading with the Almighty God in the hope of getting rid of all the sins of worldly life. That arti was floating in the ears in a soft voice.
