Patna: Horseriders from Punjab regaled devotees with their skills on running horses at the Pirdamaria Ghat ground in Patna City area on Tuesday.

The audience from Punjab and different parts of the state were left spellbound by the performance of the horse-riders.

Inderjeet Singh, 20, won the hearts of audiences by picking a minor boy from the ground on a running horse.

The youth from Jalandhar won even more hearts when he stood atop a running horse in a pious pose like he were praying to Guru Gobind Singh.

Nekka Singh from Amritsar kept the audience on their toes when he picked up an iron object on the ground from a running horse.

Hardev Singh, 15, won hearts with his dare-devil feat of standing on a running horse.

As the audience went wild, cheering the audiences, the horse-riders stepped up their act, adrenaline in full flow.

The audience skipped a breath when Azad Deep Singh, 13, from Amritsar picked a five old girl with an object made of iron. Other horse riders such as Sukha Singh and Hardeo Singh from Patiala and Amritsar respectively too regaled the audiences.

Fifteen-year-old Sukha had been practising for two years before this gala performance on Tuesday.

The event marks the concluding of thanksgiving ceremony of Prakash Utsav, the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh.

The then local king of the Patna Sahib area Fatah Chand Mainis wife, Mata Bishambhara Devi, had no child and loved Guru Gobind Singh like a son.

"It is believed that Gobind Singh met his father, the ninth Sikh Guru, Teg Bahadur, on the Guru Ka Bagh ground after the father returned from a war in Assam," Sardar Suraj Singh, a sevadar at the Takht Sri Gurdwara Patna Sahib, said.

Guru Teg Bahadur stayed in the same Bagh (orchard) with his horse and warriors before he met his wife Gugri Devi, who lived in a gurdwara called as Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib.

Four groups of horse riders, comprising 40 horses, have come from Punjab to take part in the "gurdaur (horse race)" held on Pirdamaria Ghat ground on the Ganga's bank.
