Thus, doing a kavad yatra during this month is auspicious and blissful for the devotees.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Devotees travel miles barefoot to reach their destination and collect holy river water from the Ganga River.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Participating in this sacred journey is like taking a spiritual break.

These stories also explain who the first person to participate in the Kanwar Yatra was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>1. Lord Shiva&#8217;s Selfless Act<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">During Samudra Manthan, a bottle of lethal poison emerged from the Samudra that threatened the universe. To protect the Earth and heaven, Lord Shiva drank the poison. After a while, his throat started to turn blue, creating a burning sensation in his neck and increasing the temperature of his overall body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, this is why Lord Shiva is also called Neelakanth. Seeing this, all the Gods started pouring water on Lord Shiva, trying to cool him down. This was during the Shravan month, and thus, after this, people started to offer Jal Abhishekam to Lord Shiva.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2. Lord Parshuram, being the first Kanwarias<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to ancient mythological stories, Lord Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, was the first person to perform the Kanwar yatra.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was the first to go to Garh Mukteshwar, a city in Uttar Pradesh, to collect the Ganga Jal and offer it to the shivling. After this, the tradition of pouring gangajaal in a Shivling started, and people started participating in the Kuvad Yatra.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>3. The Story of Shravan Kumar\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Shravan Kumar was the dedicated son of old parents who, barefoot, took his parents to pilgrimage sites all over Bharatvarsha. They were not privileged enough to pay for the transportation. However, to fulfil his parents&#8217; wishes, he carried them by putting each parent in a basket. He tied the end of a bamboo pole to the basket, which he would carry on his shoulder. Therefore, this story depicts Shravan Kumar&#8217;s dedication to his parents and his desire to take them on a Kavad Yatra.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Different Types of Kanwar Yatra<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Six different types of Kanwar yatra can be followed by devotees. Choosing which way to follow depends on personal preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">1. Normal Kavad Yatra:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The normal journey involves stopping at places where the devotees can rest on their way to the pilgrimage site. There are pandalas where travellers can relax and start their journey the next day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">2. Jhoola Kavad Yatra\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">This is one of the toughest ways of the journey where the Kanwar cannot be kept on the ground. The kanwari has to carry the bamboo pole throughout the journey without keeping it down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">3. Baithi Kavad Yatra\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">In this type of yatra, the kanwaris can keep the hanging bamboo pole on the ground. They can rest on their way and then start the journey again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">4. Khadi Kavad Yatra\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">During the Khadi Kavad Yatra, devotees must stand and walk while continuously holding the kanwar. If the person carrying the kanwar becomes tired, another person can replace them, but the kanwar must be kept hanging on the shoulder throughout the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">5. Dak Kavad Yatra\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Dak Kavad Yatra is very rare among devotees because, in this type of yatra, the devotees have to keep running continuously. They cannot stop anywhere in between the journey. From starting the journey until the end, they have to keep running.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">6. Dandi Kavad Yatra\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">During the Dandi Yatra, devotees commence their journey by seeking blessings at nearby Shiv temples. They cover the distance by lying down throughout the entire journey. This form of kavad yatra is the toughest one and takes several days to reach the final destination.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Kanwar Yatra Rituals And Rules<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">If you are participating in a Kaudia yatra, here are some rules to ensure a safe and successful journey.
