Devotees also took holy dip early morning in the pious city Haridwar.

The annual Kanwar Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva, begins as millions of devotees embark on a sacred journey across central India. Kanwariyas, as the pilgrims are known, travel on foot to collect holy water from the Ganges River, carrying it back to local Shiva temples. This month-long event, concentrated in states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, sees devotees seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual purification through their arduous trek and ritualistic offerings.

Facades of two mosques and a mazar in Haridwar were covered with white cloth during the Kanwar Yatra to prevent trouble, but removed after objections. Local leaders and caretakers were unaware of the decision, which they criticized for disrupting the traditional harmony between Hindu and Muslim communities.
