Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Dawoodi Bohra community gave a grand welcome to their 53rd spiritual head, his holiness Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, who arrived on a brief visit to the city on Monday.
The Syedna reached Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar International Airport from Mumbai, where a sea of devotees gathered at the nearby IDA ground to witness his arrival.
