Labh Pancham is known as the official end of the Diwali festivities, and as implied by the name, it falls on the fifth day of the New Year which this year was 29th October. This is the auspicious day from when businesses resume working after the recess. The evening began with Sandhya Aarti being performed to the Lord and the events upstairs comprised of Katha Varta and Kirtan Bhakti. Thereafter, all disciples made their way into the hall downstairs where the Samuh Raas programme was set to begin. Devotees were immersed in the live Raas performed by numerous disciples playing a host of instruments and the singing of kirtans to conclude the evening.
