They showed tremendous loyalty to the religion and so, they are adored by the people still now. “Loyalty is still the same, Whether it win or lose the game; True as a dial to the sun, Although it be not shined upon.” They generally commemorate the life of the 10th Prophet. Khidrana was a beautiful pool and the bodies of the dead were cremated on the 1st day of Magh Month, and 13th January is still memorable for the incident.
