But the Phool Waalo’n ki Sair still continues, though in a restricted form. According to her vow she walked barefoot, even as flower sellers spread flowers in her path to act as a cushion. After the fall of the Mughal empire in 1857, Phool Waalo’n ki Sair was stopped. The Sair e Gul Faroshan or Phool Waalo’n ki Sair which was traditionally held in the month of Bhado’n [August/September], is now held after the monsoon. On the first day, which is Thursday, a joyous procession goes to Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki’s dargah and offers floral chadars.
