192.3.3

During the whole ten days of Zi-Hijjah, and ten days of Muharram, discourses were delivered daily; but, during the other months, those same three stated periods were observed weekly, so that ninety-five times congregations were convened at the entrance of the sublime pavilion. On both days of the respective festivals, Fitr and Uzha, in three different places, the prayers, prescribed for the festivals, were said, in which number of places, on the greater festival of Uzha, this servant of the state, who is Minhaj-i-Saraj, was commanded to read the Khutbah for the Uzha festival, and the appointed prayers, at a spot opposite the northern face of the fortress of Gwaliyur, on which side the town is; and he was honoured with the presentation of a valuable dress of honour.
