The temple committee and volunteers are preparing enthusiastically for the event, ensuring a grand celebration.

Special flowers have been brought from Delhi to decorate Baba’s shrine on a swing, and a special 56 bhog (food offering) will be presented to Baba. To serenade Baba with devotional songs, Maya Chauhan, Baba Shyam's beloved sister from Mandsaur, will be performing, alongside local artists Prateek Maheshwari, Bhavna Sharma, Lata Soni, Pankaj Bhandari, Subhash Garg, and Puneet, who will offer their devotional bhajans.
