The Kanwar pilgrims reach Haridwar and Rushikesh to fetch the holy water of River Ganga and perform the ‘Abhishek’ on Deity Shiva at home or in the Shiva temple.

Editorial viewpoint

If Balasaheb Thackeray was alive today, he would have announced that even if a single Kanwar pilgrim is attacked, no one will be allowed to go to the Haj Yatra from the Country !
