The **Kanwar Yatra** is an annual sacred pilgrimage celebrated by Lord Shiva devotees. This year, it begins on **July 22, 2024**, and concludes on **August 6, 2024**. During the Yatra, devotees carry **Ganga Jal** (holy water) in pitchers attached to bamboo poles called **Kanwars**. They walk barefoot along various routes, including **Haridwar**, **Gaumukh**, and **Gangotri**, to offer the water at Shiva temples. To facilitate the pilgrims, **Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath** mandated that all restaurants along the Kanwar Yatra route display the names of their owners outside their shops. The Uttarakhand government also issued a similar order for establishments in Haridwar, Rishikesh, Neelkanth, Gangotri, and Dehradun. These guidelines emphasize cleanliness, group travel, medical preparedness, and respecting local customs.
