UP Woman Carries 61-Litre Kanwar Yatra After Missing Police Exam Selection
Mansi Rajput, a woman from Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, is undertaking a challenging Kanwar Yatra carrying 61 litres of water to express her devotion to Lord Shiva and challenge gender stereotypes. Despite scoring 266 marks in the UP Police recruitment exam, she was not selected, missing the cut-off by 50-60 marks. Rajput, from the general category, has prepared for government exams for several years and views the pilgrimage as a personal response to her setbacks and a demonstration of women's strength.
