Kanwar Yatra 2024: The Kanwar Yatra will start on July 22 and conclude on August 2. During the month of Sawan, which commences from the coming Monday, people from Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan walk to Rishikesh and Haridwar in Uttarakhand to collect water from the Ganga River and bring it back to be offered in Shiva temples.
The Uttar Pradesh government asked officials from the neighbouring states to issue identity cards to the Kanwar Yatra pilgrims from their respective regions. The request was made in preparation for the upcoming yatra, during the holy month of Sawan, for which Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath convened a high-level meeting.
