According to Hindu Scriptures Lord Shiva consumed the venom which emerged during the Samudra Manthan and it is believed that Goddess Parvati held Lord Shiva’s neck so that the poison dosen’t enter his body and the poison remmained in his neck.

And it is also believed that when Lord Shiva Consumed the venom his neck and throat was burning and it turned blue so to heal his wound and to relieve his pain his devotees offer water of Holy Ganga.

So, to show gratitude to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati  and to seek their blessings, the devotees observe fast in the month of Sharvan.

What is Kanwar Yatra?

Every year in the auspicious month of Shrawan the devotees of Lord Shiva participate in a holy expedition called “Kanwar Yatra”.

A Kanwariya (a person who participates in kanwar yatra) carries Kanwars (pots) across his shoulders and begins his yatra to collect the holy water of River Ganga.

The Kanwariyas start their journey from the auspicious places like Gangotri, Gaumukh, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kashi, etc. to offer water to lord Shiva.

The Kanwariyas observe fast while carrying the Kanwars and they do not consume food grain or drink water while they are carrying the Kanwars.

The Kanwariyas walk barefoot and it is believed that once the pots are filled with water it should not touch the ground .

This year the Kanvar yatra will start from 14th July and because of Covid last year Uttarakhand cancelled the kanwar yatra but this year Uttarakhand is all set to welcome the devotees but they have to follow all the protocols.
