The annual Urs, also known as Mela Charaghan, of the revered Sufi poet Madhu Lal Hussain is set to commence tomorrow in the capital city of Punjab. The three-day celebration will kick off with Chadarposhi at the shrine.
Madhu Lal Hussain, renowned for his Kafis, a poetic form, passed away near the Ravi River in 1591 and was laid to rest in Baghbanpura, Lahore. His profound bond with a Hindu Brahman boy named Madhu is a historic tale, with both individuals now being revered as one under the name Madhu Lal Hussain.
