251-foot Tricolour Kanwar steels the spotlight during Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar

During the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, a 251-foot-long Tricolour Kanwar attracted significant attention, reflecting the patriotic fervor of the devotees. A dozen Kanwariyas carried this massive Kanwar, collecting holy Ganga water from Har Ki Pauri, to Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. The unique Kanwar not only became a major attraction but also served as a platform to urge the youth to abstain from drugs, as per the group's dedication to the nation's pride and the sacrifices of India's martyrs.

The journey, spanning approximately 200 km, was marked by support from local Shiva devotees and Uttarakhand police, who ensured the safety and discipline of the pilgrimage. Kanwariyas Harendra Kumar and Deepak Chaudhary shared their experiences, expressing gratitude for the support they received en route and highlighting the positive influence of the Tricolour Kanwar on the youth.
