It was an emotional farewell for all, as this is considered to be the most sacred way for their submission to God.  They were parted with garlands, sweets and lot of blessing and good wishes. It was like a small possession with music band, in which all the kith and kin of the devotees wished them luck and success for the journey. They were then seated in the bus, in which the whole group of 28 people went to Dabok Airport.

The devotees will return on 6th of December. After their touching departure, we hope that they come back with most humble, gratifying and unmatchable experience of their life.
