On July 23, 2025, thousands of devotees thronged the holy city of Haridwar, Uttarakhand, to take a sacred dip in the Ganga on the auspicious occasion of Shravan Shivratri. The event also marked the concluding day of the Kanwar Yatra, a pilgrimage undertaken by devotees seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva during the holy month of Sawan.
Authorities have arranged multiple Kanwar camps along the yatra route to support the returning devotees. These camps are equipped with food, drinking water, medical care, and rest facilities for the pilgrims. Additionally, security measures have been implemented across the region, including the deployment of additional police forces, route diversions, and crowd monitoring to ensure a smooth and safe passage for the Kanwariyas.
The spiritual fervor of Shravan Shivratri was also visible across Uttar Pradesh, as thousands of devotees gathered at Shiva temples to perform rituals and offer prayers. In Varanasi, special ceremonies were conducted at the renowned Kailash Math Shiva Temple, while the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga Temple saw long queues of barefoot Kanwariyas waiting patiently to offer their devotions.
