Lord Shiva's favorite month

Lord Shiva's favorite month Savan is very special for Shiva devotees. Shiva devotees become Kanwariyas, fill Ganga water in Kanwar and anoint Shivalinga.

Rules of kanwar yatra.

During the Kanwar Yatra, Kanwariyas fill Ganga water and anoint Shivalinga with that water while walking on foot. Kanwariyas should take special care of some things during Kanwar Yatra.

Do not keep Kanwar on the ground.

Kanwar should never be kept on the ground during the entire journey, but do you know why Kanwar should not be kept on the ground?

Why don't you keep Kanwar on the ground?

There is a religious belief behind not keeping Kanwar in the ground. According to this belief, Kanwariyas believe that Kanwar is the form of Lord Shiva.

Do not touch the ground

When the Kanwariyas stop for rest during the journey, they keep the Kanwariya on a stand or tree so that the Kanwariya does not touch the ground.

Lord Shiva should not be insulted

Since it is the form of Lord Shiva, Kanwariyas never want to insult him by keeping him in the ground.

Water rises to Lord Shiva

Apart from this, the water kept in Kanwar is offered to Lord Shiva. Do not let any impure thing touch Kanwar during the journey. Due to this, the Kanwariyas have to refill the water and start their journey again.
