People in large numbers from surrounding areas made a beeline to the area to witness the celebrations.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Laxman observed that the Sadar Festival reflected the unity of the Yadav community. Chandrasekhar Yadav said the male buffaloes were worshipped by the community as god, as a tradition observed every year. The celebrations enthused the Yadavas and brought about unity among them, he remarked.
