What is the Kanwar Yatra?
The Kanwar Yatra is an annual Hindu pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva. During the journey, Kanwariyas travel to sacred places, particularly locations along the Ganga, to collect holy water.
The devotees then carry the water back to their respective destinations and offer it at Shiva temples, especially during the holy month of Shravan. Many pilgrims undertake the journey on foot, while others use decorated vehicles as they travel between religious sites.
As the pilgrimage brings large numbers of devotees onto the roads, elaborately decorated Kanwar structures, vehicles and displays are often seen along the routes.
