Feeding thousands with a cauldron measuring 37 feet wide
In short: Discover the massive scale of religious devotion at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. This video takes you inside one of the world's holiest Sufi sites to witness the preparation of a monumental religious offering.
At the Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan, India, devotees prepare prasad—a religious offering—for thousands of daily pilgrims. The centerpiece of this operation is a 'deg,' or cauldron, which stands as one of the largest in the world.
The vessel measures 37 feet wide and 15 feet deep, possessing the capacity to cook 4,800 kilograms of sweet rice (Zarda) at once. This industrial-scale cooking highlights the intersection of faith and community service within Sufi traditions.
