During the arduous Kawad Yatra, comfort T-shirts are a pilgrim’s best friend for several reasons:
- Monsoon Management: Made from lightweight, breathable cotton or lycra, they dry quickly during frequent rains and handle the intense humidity of July and August.
- Freedom of Movement: Loose-fitting tees allow for a full range of motion while carrying the heavy Kanwar (bamboo pole) over long distances.
- Identity and Safety: Vibrant saffron T-shirts with printed slogans or group names foster unity and ensure devotees are easily identifiable in dense crowds.
- Skin Protection: Soft fabrics prevent chafing and rashes during the hundreds of kilometers traveled on foot.
