251-Foot Tricolour Kanwar Draws Attention During Haridwar Kanwar Yatra
During the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, devotees carried a 251-foot-long Tricolour Kanwar from Haridwar to Baghpat, attracting widespread attention for its patriotic symbolism. Around a dozen Kanwariyas collected holy Ganga water before starting their approximately 200 km journey. The group dedicated the Yatra to national pride and martyrs' sacrifices, urging unity and youth to avoid drug use. Support from local police and devotees was noted, with calls for peace and discipline throughout the pilgrimage.
