Urs is an annual festival celebrated primarily in Sufi shrines across India, marking the death anniversary of a revered saint or spiritual leader.

During Urs, devotees gather through prayers, qawwali music, and rituals to honor the saint's legacy, seek spiritual blessings, and reinforce communal bonds. The festival often includes processions and offerings, creating a vibrant atmosphere of devotion and cultural significance that reflects the saint's teachings and the mystical traditions of Sufism.
