Pilgrims walk or travel in groups from states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and Bihar to sacred points like Haridwar, Gaumukh, and Sultanganj, carrying water in decorated kanwars to offer at their local Shiva temples. The event transforms national highways into rivers of saffron, with music, chants, and deep devotion flowing in unison.
