“Shiv ka vandan… Sanatan, shraddha evam Bharat ki ekta ka abhinandan… Devadhidev Mahadev sabka kalyan karen. Har Har Mahadev!”
Kanwar Yatra: A Sacred Tradition of Devotion
The Kanwar Yatra, observed during the month of Shravan, sees millions of devotees (Kanwariyas) carrying holy water from the Ganga to offer at Shiva temples across northern India. The Yatra is not only a symbol of spiritual discipline, but also a celebration of India’s cultural unity that cuts across social and regional lines.
CM Yogi’s Active Role in Yatra Arrangements
CM Yogi has repeatedly emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety, convenience, and respect for religious sentiments of the Kanwariyas. The state administration has deployed extensive measures for crowd management, medical facilities, and route security in major pilgrimage corridors such as Haridwar, Varanasi, and Prayagraj.
The Chief Minister has also directed officials to maintain harmony and avoid any disruptions during the Yatra, calling it a matter of cultural pride for Uttar Pradesh.
Har Har Mahadev Resonates Across the State
As chants of “Har Har Mahadev” echo across the region, CM Yogi’s message reinforces the idea of Shiva’s worship as an embodiment of unity, spiritual strength, and collective well-being.
With the Yatra gaining momentum, the government continues to monitor developments closely to ensure a peaceful and spiritually uplifting journey for all devotees.
