On the day, a large number of students, on Wednesday morning, visited the local primary school and showered each other with joy by applying gulal on each other. On the day, the locals performed the traditional folk dance, the Garba, and took out a procession to the temple of Goddess Dola Mata.
On June 5 last year, Sunita along with her companions flew to the International Space Station, but due to technical reasons, her return was delayed for more than nine months. Vishal Panchal, the principal of the primary school, said that an akhand jyoti was lit at the Dola Mata temple on June 27 for Sunita's safe return. The goddess heard their prayers and Sunita has returned home safely. For this, the villagers thanked the mother by taking out a procession.
