Wearing colourful T-shirts with images of Hindu Gods on them, a large number of Kanwariyas were seen carrying holy water from the Ganges in Haridwar to different parts of the country. The Kanwar Yatra, which usually begins on the first day of the Hindu month of Saawan, sees the participation of large number of Lord Shiv devotees.
From a child carrying the kanwar while sitting on his father's shoulders to Kanwariyas resting at a camp in Delhi, the pictures capture the long journey of the devotees with religious songs and dance. The pictures also show how Kanwariyas decorated the kanwars with images of Hindu gods, flowers, and plastic birds.
The Kanwar Yatra started on July 22 and will conclude on August 6. The Uttar Pradesh government has made special arrangements to ensure stringent security and smooth darshan for devotees for the Kanwar Yatra.
