On Tuesday, 04 July 2023, the 12-day-long annual Kanwar Yatra began in different parts of the country.
Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh governments have made elaborate arrangements to manage the rush of pilgrims.
The Kanwar Yatra will pass through Delhi, Meerut, Saharanpur, Ghaziabad, Shamli, and Bhagpat districts in Uttar Pradesh.
Devotees participating in the yatra will collect the sacred water from the Holy River Ganga.
Devotees chant slogans in praise of Lord Shiv and sing bhajans and kirtans.
While most of the people cover this yatra on foot, some opt for personal vehicles in case they are not able to walk long distances.
Many NGOs also come forward to assist the kanwars in their pilgrimage at various points along the way to the destination, providing makeshift accommodation, food, water and tea.
In Uttarakhand, a large number of Kanwariyas are expected to visit this year. The State government has completed all preparations for the yatra.
According to Akashvani correspondent reports, Kanwariyas have started arriving in the State to collect water from the holy river Ganga.
This time the state government has made special arrangements for the Kanwar Yatris.
