The Kawad Yatra traces its roots to ancient Hindu traditions, where devotees of Lord Shiva, known as Kanwariyas, fetch holy water from the Ganga River to offer at Shiva temples. It symbolizes devotion, purity, and gratitude towards Lord Shiva for cosmic balance. The Yatra, held during the Shravan month, promotes unity, faith, and spiritual discipline, making it one of India’s most sacred and vibrant religious journeys.
