The Haridwar Kawad Yatra follows a sacred route beginning from Haridwar, where devotees collect holy Ganga water, and proceed toward their hometown temples. Major routes pass through cities like Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, and Ghaziabad. In 2026, the Kawad Yatra is expected to begin in mid-July and conclude by early August, coinciding with the holy month of Sawan, celebrating devotion to Lord Shiva.
