Kanwar Yatra EXPLAINED: Mapping 210-km Delhi-Haridwar Route, 60 Million Devotees Expected Amidst Security & QR Code Controversy
Crores of saffron-robed pilgrims have started the month-long annual Kanwar Yatra, a religious yatra in honor of Lord Shiva, that started on July 11. With recitation of 'Har Har Mahadev' echoes, pilgrims are embarking on a spiritual odyssey, at times barefoot, to sacred shrines to fetch holy Ganga water to perform 'jalabhishek' rituals during the Hindu calendar month of 'Shravan'. This year, the Uttar Pradesh government is expecting a record 60 million pilgrims, among which seven million are women, to travel through the Kanwar Yatra route across the state. Delhi has also turned into an important transit point, with 15 to 20 lakh Kanwariyas passing through on their way to the holy Ganga ghats of Haridwar and Rishikesh. Charting the 210-km Devotional Route from Delhi to Haridwar The tiresome 210-kilometer road distance from Delhi to Haridwar and Rishikesh is broken by various authorized pitstops, which are well-provided with tents, medical camps, and restaurants to cater to the pilgrims. Partapur Village, Uttar Pradesh: Around 60 km from Delhi, this initial key stop has some five police tents, 15-20 devotee camps, and two to three medical camps, with a fire tender ready in case of any emergency. Modipuram, Uttar Pradesh: This 90 km distance from Delhi features in excess of a dozen camps and has over 500 police officers deployed. Khatauli and Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh: These are important stops before Uttarakhand. A notable Shiva temple in Muzaffarnagar is a very important point, according to reports, attracting more than one million Kanwariyas every year. "The yatra is not complete without a parikrama at the Shiv temple," head priest Harish Bhardwaj said in a report to Hindustan Times. Roorkee: The second last point before pilgrims arrive at Haridwar to fetch Ganga water. Some come back from Haridwar to their hometowns, while others go to Rishikesh to see the Neelkanth temple, which saw six lakh devotees last year on a single day. To provide a safe and hassle-free experience for the huge pilgrimage, the Uttar Pradesh government has launched a massive security drive. The drive involves deploying 587 gazetted officers, 2,040 inspectors, 13,520 sub-inspectors, and 39,965 constables of police and paramilitary personnel. Adding strength to this, 1,486 women sub-inspectors and 8,541 women constables are present on the ground supported by 50 companies of PAC and central forces and 1,424 home guards. Yatra Under Fire: Hooliganism, Traffic, and Controversial Directives Though rooted in religious sanctity, Kanwar Yatra has come under the spotlight of late with concerns about sporadic cases of hooliganism, vandalism, and blanket traffic snarls. Recently, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered after glass shards were found strewn on a Kanwar Yatra route in northeast Delhi's Dilshad Garden. Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena shared a video of the site on social media, confirming that the crime branch is investigating the matter to ascertain any malicious intent or communal angle. According to a report by Quint, the 2024 Kanwar Yatra witnessed at least 20 documented cases of violence. Adding to the complications are some directives issued by state governments, which have raised controversy and led to charges of religious profiling. The Uttar Pradesh government headed by Yogi Adityanath has ordered that restaurants and food stalls on the 540-km Kanwar yatra route stretching from Meerut to Muzaffarnagar should have a QR code displayed. The QR code is intended to bring forth important information like the identity of the owner, FSSAI license, reports of cleanliness, and vegetarian or non-vegetarian status of the food being offered. The Supreme Court of India has requested a response from the government of Uttar Pradesh on a petition against this order. This comes after a similar intervention last year, when the top court stayed similar orders issued by BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh governments, which had mandated restaurants along the Kanwar Yatra routes to display the names of their owners and workers publicly.

Amarnath Yatra begins amid tight security, devotees undeterred by terror threat
SRINAGAR/JAMMU: Chants of 'Bam Bam Bhole' and 'Har Har Mahadev' echoed through Kashmir valley Wednesday as the first convoy of Amarnath Yatra pilgrims crossed Qazigund-Banihal tunnel, marking the start of the annual Himalayan pilgrimage under unprecedented security. Garlanded with flowers and greeted with traditional Kashmiri hospitality, the pilgrims — part of a 5,892-strong batch — were flagged off from the Jammu base camp at Bhagwati Nagar early morning by lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha. A convoy of 310 vehicles carried the devotees toward the sacred Amarnath cave shrine in south Kashmir. 'Undeterred by recent terrorist activities, devotees of Lord Shiva are arriving in huge numbers, demonstrating their immense faith,' said Sinha. 'I hope this year's yatra will be even more historic than previous years.' The pilgrimage, running from July 3 to Aug 9, is taking place amid heightened security following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26, mostly tourists. A multi-layered security grid with advanced surveillance technology blankets the region. Pilgrims have been advised to travel only in designated convoys, with a separate govt advisory warning journalists against disguising themselves as yatris. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O que é ar-condicionado sem dutos no Brasil? Knowledge Knower Undo The twin routes to the shrine — Pahalgam (36-48km, 3–5 days) and Baltal (14km, 1–2 days) —remain under constant vigil. Authorities warned pilgrims not to arrive before scheduled dates and reiterated that misrepresentation of identity, especially by media, would result in strict action. Among the first-day pilgrims: 1,043 women, 31 children, 16 trans people, 335 sadhus, and 72 sadhvis. Many will trek on foot or via ponies, palkis, or helicopters toward the 3,888m-high cave shrine that houses the naturally formed ice Shivling. Rain fell. Conch shells blew. Hymns filled the air at Yatri Niwas in Jammu. The spiritual energy of Amarnath Yatra surged forward — undaunted, united, unshaken. 'No matter how many bombs are hurled, devotees will not be deterred,' said Sarvanand Patel from Gujarat. Ramesh Chander added: 'We pray that everybody gets darshan in peace. Army and security forces are here.' Manoj Kumar from UP echoed the sentiment: 'There is no fear among us. We have faith in our Baba Amarnath-ji and the forces.' Ram Prasad, another UP devotee, said terrorist threats will never shake their spiritual resolve. J&K deputy CM Surinder Choudhary welcomed pilgrims at Banihal and raised the political pitch by expressing hope that 'the next Amarnath Yatra would take place in a full-fledged state'. He claimed LG Sinha performed a special puja praying for the restoration of statehood — though BJP did not immediately comment. At Baltal base camp, BJP spokesperson and J&K Waqf Board chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi reviewed facilities and met officials and service providers. 'The yatra is a powerful symbol of communal harmony in Kashmir,' she said. 'It represents Hindu-Muslim unity, and we are all committed to strengthening that bond.'
