The third day of Sufi Festival continued as a large number of people showed up in the audience because of the weekend.

In performances by the artistes from both Pakistan and foreign countries, the audience stayed captivated, and applauded each performance in a flood of clapping.

The international bands of artistes came from Egypt, Morroco, Bosnia, and from Australia. From Sindh came Fakir Abdul Wahid Jamali and his group Naseeruddin Saami, while Sher Mian Dad and others participated from Punjab.

The local artistes belonged to their respective dargahs, but for the international artistes, this was alien, as they had themselves turned towards Sufism by their own will.
