The Kanwar Yatra from Omkareshwar to Ujjain has begun, with devotees carrying holy water from the Narmada River. Heavy vehicles have been rerouted to alternative paths.
The Kanwar Yatra, a significant pilgrimage for Lord Shiva devotees, has commenced with the onset of the Sawan month. Thousands of devotees are traveling from Omkareshwar to Ujjain, carrying holy water from the Narmada River to offer to Lord Mahakal. To ensure a smooth and safe journey for the pilgrims, the authorities have made arrangements to divert heavy vehicles from the main route. This decision is expected to reduce congestion and minimize the risk of accidents along the way. The yatra is a testament to the devotion and faith of the pilgrims, who undertake this journey every year to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva.
