The sacred month of Sawan is about to commence, and the Shravani Mela in Deoghar is eagerly anticipated. The annual event draws countless devotees participating in the Kanwar Yatra. As you prepare to embark on this pilgrimage to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings, remember specific guidelines for a successful journey. The Kanwar Yatra is a rigorous act of devotion, often involving long walks. Certain actions can undermine the pilgrimage. It’s important to walk barefoot, never place the Kanwar on the ground, and practice celibacy. A sattvik diet is recommended, avoiding onion, garlic, meat, and alcohol. Refrain from using abusive language, touching the Kanwar without bathing, and consuming tobacco. Focus on chanting mantras dedicated to Lord Shiva throughout the pilgrimage.
