AJMER: Every year, they come to the dargah of Garib Nawaz to spread the message of humanism. They pay thanks to the great sufi and offer chaddar. They are transgenders or hijras (in local parlance) who every year gather in Ajmer during Urs. On Saturday, they offered chaddar in the dargah, thanking the sufi saint for his blessings.

They come to pay thanks and offer chaddars'. They pray not for themselves but for others. Raisa Bai, the leader of the group, today offered chaddar. The march started from Moti Katla to dargah and they sang songs praising the khwaja. "Ya mere khwaja, bigiri meri banade (Hi khwaja, solve my problem).
