Following the resounding success of Chowkis in Dallas, Virginia, Chicago, and Boston, legendary bhajan singer Lakhbir Singh Lakha continues to spread waves of devotion across the United States. With the latest stops in Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri, the ‘Mela Maiya Da’ tour is transforming into a nationwide devotional movement—uniting thousands of devotees in evenings of soulful bhakti and turning traditional Chowkis into grand spiritual festivals.

Week Four Highlights: Indianapolis, Evansville & St. Louis

Indianapolis, Indiana – Hindu Temple of Central Indiana

The Indianapolis Chowki drew nearly 600 devotees, who remained engaged throughout the evening, singing and dancing in devotion. Hosted by the Hindu Temple of Central Indiana, the event resonated with chants of Jai Mata Di, creating a vibrant atmosphere of collective faith.

Evansville, Indiana – Tri State Hindu Temple

The Evansville Chowki, led by Dr. Ashwani Bedi and Sushma Bedi, brought together volunteers including the Bhasin and Jairath families. Their efforts ensured a seamless and joyous gathering that united devotees from across the Tri-State region.

St. Louis, Missouri – Durga Temple

In St. Louis, the newly built Durga Temple became the center of devotion as hundreds gathered for Lakha Ji’s performance. Thanks to the dedication of Raman Kamboj and his team, attendees experienced unparalleled hospitality and a spiritually uplifting evening.

A tour evolving into a devotional movement

From Dallas to Virginia, Boston to Chicago, and now Indiana to St. Louis, the ‘Mela Maiya Da’ tour is more than a series of concerts—it is a national spiritual movement. Guided by Dr. Avi Verma, President of Jai Jagdambe Foundation, each Chowki has been meticulously organized, drawing thousands into the fold of devotion and community spirit.

With upcoming events in Orlando, San Jose, and beyond, the wave of bhakti continues to grow across the United States.
