What is Kanwar Yatra?

Kanvar Yatra, also known as Kanwar Mela is a holy fair that starts in the sacred month of Shravana (Savan). Devotees of Lord Shiva travel barefooted to Har ki Pauri in Haridwar, Gangotri in Uttarakhand, and various other places to obtain the holy water of the sacred river Ganga, and offer it to Lord Shiva. The devotees who participate in this annual pilgrimage (Kanwar Mela) are known as Kanwariyas.

The legend behind Kanvar Mela dates back to the day when the churning of ocean (Samudra Manthan) was taking place. Along with several other things, a deadly poison was also obtained as a product. To save the world from the poison, Mahadeva inhaled all of it, and as a result, his throat turned blue. This is the reason why he is also known by the name Neelkanth. It is believed that Ravana, being a devout follower of Lord Shiva, brought Gangajal with the help of a Kanvar (a single pole at the ends of which loads are fastened), and poured it over Shiva Lingam. This ultimately set Lord Shiva free of the negativity of the poison he inhaled.

Legend behind Sawan

Like every festival of the Hindu religion, there is a story behind Sawan Vrat also. It is believed that once upon a time, there lived a man who was very rich, and spent a life of luxury. He had all sorts of comforts, but the absence of a child was the only reason for tension and stress in his life. The man and his wife were devotees of Lord Shiva, and used to fast on Mondays to please Lord Shiva. Observing their unfaltering devotion, Goddess Parvati insisted Mahadeva to bless them with a child. As a result, they were finally able to have a healthy son. The son was named Amar, but along with his birth, came the prophesy that the child would die at the age of 12 years.

As the child grew up, he was sent to Kashi for his education. He was accompanied by his maternal uncle, and was told by his parents to perform Yagya and charity wherever he goes. On the way, they came across the wedding ceremony of a princess, whose groom-to-be was half-sighted. The family of the groom was afraid that the secret of their son’s half blindness may be discovered. They requested Amar to take the place of the groom, to which he agreed. He got married to the princess, but did not want to betray her. He chose to write the truth on the wedding stole (chunri) of his bride. When the bride read his message, she waited for her original husband and did not leave her parent’s house. Amar continued his journey, and left for Kashi.

During all this time, Amar adhered to the words of his parents, and performed religious deeds. The day he turned 12, he sat in a Shiva temple, and continued offering Bel patra (Bilva leaves) to Lord Shiva. When Lord Yama came to take away the live of the boy, Lord Shiva chose to bless the child with the boon of a long life, and as a result, Amar did not die and Yamaraj returned empty-handed. Amar, blessed by Mahadeva himself, returned home with his bride, and the unshakeable dedication of their family for Mahadeva proved that Lord Shiva is always there for his true devotees to help them out, and bestow upon them his divine blessings.
