The Kanwar yatra commenced on 4 July. Kanwar Yatra is a significant ritual during the month of Sawan. People gather water from sacred rivers for this rite and place it in little mud pots known as Kanwars. Devotees don saffron-coloured clothes while carrying the holy water and walk on foot to visit temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and perform ‘jalabhishek’ on the occasion of Shiva Trayodashi.
