KhatuShyam Mela: The Secret of Surajgarh's 'White Flag' and the Miracle that Scared British Rule
•Khatu Dham in Sikar, Rajasthan, is hosting the Phalguna Lakkhi Mela, drawing millions of devotees.
•The fair culminates on February 28 (Dwadashi) with the arrival of the sacred 'Nishan' (flag) from Surajgarh.
•The Surajgarh Nishan is a special white flag with Baba's blue horse, carried 152 km on foot by devotees, including women with burning 'sigri' on their heads.
•This 377-year-old flag is linked to a miracle where it opened the temple's locks during British rule, leading to the British bowing down.
•Only the Surajgarh white flag is hoisted on the temple's main spire, symbolizing a unique bond and flying year-round.
