UP Brothers Carry Parents in Kanwar on 200-Km Pilgrimage from Haridwar
Two brothers from Chirchita village in Uttar Pradesh are undertaking a nearly 200-km journey on foot from Haridwar to Baghpat, carrying their parents in a 'kanwar'. They collected holy water from the Ganga and placed their father and mother in the kanwar baskets, taking turns to carry them. Their act of devotion has drawn praise from pilgrims, who liken them to the legendary Shravan Kumar. The brothers emphasize that serving and respecting parents is a vital duty and source of true blessings.
