HOWRAGHAT, Feb 1: In a remarkable display of faith and endurance, a group of devotees from Karbi Anglong district has begun a long-distance foot pilgrimage (Padyatra) to attend the 95th Annual Central Session of Srimanta Sankaradeva Sangha. The three-day event will be held on February 6–8 at the Jyoti-Bishnu Sammanway Khetra in Dholaibil, Tezpur.
The group from Belguri village commenced their journey on Sunday morning at 6:00 AM. After seeking blessings at the Belguri Primary Branch Namghar, the pilgrims set out on a trek covering approximately 150 kilometres to reach the venue. Key participants include Pabitra Patar, Mamoni Patar, Mina Bora, Babita Deka and Jina Bora (from Vothung-aji).

The 95th session in Tezpur is expected to draw lakhs of followers, but the dedication of the Belguri group has already captured local hearts as they march toward the Jyoti-Bishnu Sammanway Khetra.
