     Kavad Yatra 2024: Rituals

    The “Kanvar” is carried by pilgrims on their both shoulders during the Kavad Yatra. A “Kanvar” is a bamboo pole with 2 colorful clay pots connected to its both ends. While doing this trip, the Kanvarias balance the Kanvar on their shoulders and fill pots with holy water for offerings at Shivalinga.

    The Kawar yatra is a month-long occasion in which kanvarias collect holly water from pilgrimage sites while walking barefoot and dressed in saffron-colored clothes. After that, believers go back to their hometown and visit the temple to do the Jalabhishek of the Shivling. It is an expression of gratitude for everything good in their lives.

    The only thing to keep in mind is to ensure that pots never come into contact with the ground when traveling. All along the route, there are many temporary platforms where kanvarias might stop and relax.

    Kanvarias groups walk throughout this holy yatra. While many believers walk the whole distance, some also use motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, jeeps, or mini-tucks to get there. These believers of lord shiva sing “Bol Bam” and other believers bhajans in his honor during the journey.

    Kavad Yatra 2024: Significances

    The Kavar yatra occasion has a unique meaning. By chanting a sacred hymn, the kanvars try to calm their minds and take spiritual breaks through this type of devotion. It is a distraction from difficult and unpleasant conditions with the potential to give inspired thoughts along the route.

    Indeed, creativity can only come from a calm mind. Collecting holy water from the Ganga River shows gathering inspiring and imaginative thoughts to bring back to the workplace to complete unfinished business.

    It is also believed that by completing the Kavad Yatra, lord shiva gives his blessings to Kanvarias, and grants them all wishes. It is also believed that helping Kanvarias is auspicious.
