Various martial arts including archery, sword fencing, fancy horse-riding, tent-pegging, and the deft handling of other contraptions of offence and defense are displayed by the Nihangs during this occasion. Spectacular and exciting acts of dare-devilry agilely executed are staged.
The festival ends with a procession taken through the township. Thousands of people come from far-off places to part this festival.
