• Comment: This can be better covered in the Hashim Peer Dastagir article; there is no need to add the first paragraph of this draft there as it is already covered in the Urs article. At present, I do not see any significant independent coverage for the festival; there is only one source from The Hindu, which is not enough to warrant a separate article.
