Woman Carries Paralysed Husband On 150 Km Kanwar Yatra, Internet Says ‘Mahadev Kripa Karengay'
Kanwar Yatra is going on in full swing. During this sacred pilgrimage, undertaken during the holy month of Sawan in devotion to Lord Shiva, thousands of Kanwariyas travel long distances to fetch holy Ganga water and offer it to Mahadev. Several heartwarming stories are emerging from this auspicious yatra, and the latest one going viral is about a woman named Asha.
In a heartwarming display of love, devotion and unshakeable faith, the woman from Bakharwa village in Modinagar has touched hearts across the country by carrying her paralysed husband on her back for 150 km during the Kanwar Yatra.
Accompanied by their two young children, Asha embarked on the journey from Haridwar to Modinagar on foot, carrying her husband, Sachin. He has been paralysed from the waist down following a spinal cord surgery last year.

This powerful moment, captured on camera, has gone viral on social media, prompting an outpouring of admiration and respect. In no time, the video gained traction online. Social media users were quick to respond to the emotional clip. Calling the man lucky, the internet community showered the woman with praise for her unwavering dedication and devotion.
'This man is very lucky to have such a wife. Many, many salutes to such women of the country," wrote a user.
Another commented, 'Salute to the power of women, faith, and devotion. In today's era, seeing such a thing gives satisfaction to the mind."
'Bolo Har Har Mahadev… Jarur sidhh hogi is behen ki prarthana (Her wishes will surely be fulfilled soon)," said an individual.
An X user posted, 'I humbly pray to Lord Shiva that her wishes be fulfilled. Har Har Mahadev."
During a media interaction, she expressed, 'Mai apne pati ko kandhe pe bithakr aa rahi hu. Dedh ghante ka operation hua tha spinal cord ka, aur tabse inke paer chalne band ho gaye hai. Bs Bholenath se yahi ikcha mangi hai ki mere liye jaise pehle khade the, mere liye waise khade ho jaye, mere sath khade ho (I am carrying my husband on my shoulders. He had a half-hour-long operation on his spinal cord, after which his legs stopped moving. I just want to request Lord Shiva to make him stand again on his foot for me, the way he stood before with me)."
Sachin had been a dedicated Kanwariya. He had been walking the pilgrimage every year from the past 13 years. However, after his paralysis last year, he believed his spiritual journey had come to an end. But his wife, Asha, refused to let his tradition be broken.
With immense love and devotion in her heart, she carried her paralysed husband on her back to complete the pilgrimage. Asha's strength and unwavering belief have become a symbol of true devotion this year.

Women Dancing On Kanwar Truck Get ‘Shameful And Disgusting' Comments From Internet
Last Updated: A video showing women dancing on a Kanwar Yatra truck has sparked outrage for allegedly disrespecting the sanctity of the pilgrimage. A video has gone viral showing two women dancing on a decorated truck during the Kanwar Yatra. The incident has drawn strong criticism on social media. The clip, whose exact location is unknown, shows a group of Kanwariyas, devotees of Lord Shiva, standing atop a moving truck while crossing what appears to be a flyover. What caught everyone's attention was the two women dancing to loud DJ music in front of a cheering crowd of male devotees. The truck, brightly decorated with lights and large speakers, looked more like a stage for entertainment than part of a religious procession. Over the video, a note in Hindi reads 'ये कैसे भक्त हैं (which roughly translates to 'What kind of devotees are these'), reflecting the outrage of many viewers. The caption to the video states – 'Kanwariyas enjoying raunchy dance and music while on their way to 'pilgrimage". So much sanskaar."

Many internet users have slammed the act, calling it disrespectful to the spirit of the Kanwar Yatra. Some people feel that the pilgrimage is being turned into a public spectacle, losing its spiritual meaning. A user said, 'Shameful and disgusting to say the least!" 'Shameless fellows," someone else wrote. 'So blessed to be born in the south of India. Thank God we won't do such things in the name of religion," an individual stated. As of now, there has been no official statement from authorities about the video. However, there is growing public demand for action to be taken, with many asking for better regulation to prevent such incidents in the future. What is the Kanwar Yatra?
