Sawan Shivratri: Choppers shower flower at prominent Shiva temples and devotees in Uttar Pradesh
Gorakhpur: In the spiritual month of Sawan, dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Uttar Pradesh government went beyond traditional arrangements at Shiva temples to honour the devotees in a special way. A grand flower shower was organised on the auspicious occasion of Sawan Shivratri, which saw helicopters showering petals on major Shiva temples in Gorakhpur, Sant Kabir Nagar and other places, offering a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering faith of thousands of worshippers. Similar aerial flower showers were also carried out across various locations in Uttar Pradesh during the Sawan month to honour 'Kanwariyas' and Lord Shiva devotees. In Gorakhpur, the flower shower from helicopters was conducted over prominent temples, including the Gorakhnath Temple, the ancient Mansarovar Temple, Mukteshwar Nath Temple, Jharkhandi Mahadev Temple, Munjeshwar Nath Temple in Bhauwapar, Moteshwar Shiva Temple in Pipraich, and the Tameshwar Nath Temple in Sant Kabir Nagar, creating a deeply spiritual and memorable experience for the worshippers. Earlier in the day, the Goraksha Peethadhishwar and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath performed Rudrabhishek at the ancient Mansarovar Temple in Andhiyari Bagh, where he invoked blessings from Lord Shiva for the happiness and prosperity of the state residents. CM Yogi performed Rudrabhishek with water, cow milk, and sugarcane juice, and offered sacred items such as bilva patra, lotus flowers, durva grass, and various other traditional offerings to Mahadev. The ritual was conducted by the learned priests of the Gorakhnath Temple, who chanted the Mahamantras from the Rudrashtadhyayi of the Shukla Yajurveda Samhita. Following the Rudrabhishek, the Chief Minister performed havan and aarti, accompanied by the resonant chanting of Vedic mantras. He prayed to Mahadev for a life of good health, happiness, prosperity, and peace for the people of the state.

‘Spent last three days without any sleep': Delhi's Shahdara worst affected by Kanwar ‘music'
East Delhi's Shahdara turned into a deafening zone as thousands of Kanwariyas, armed with blaring boomboxes, converged at this choke point en route to their homes in nearby parts of Delhi, as well as far off places in northern Haryana like Bahadurgarh and Rohtak, and even some parts of Rajasthan. Kanwariyas dance to loud music during their yatra near Shastri Park in New Delhi. (Sanchit Khanna/ HT Photo) Among all the places, Shahdara has had it the worst, with the noise pollution reaching as high as 87.5 decibels during the day on Tuesday (16-hour average from 6am to 10pm). Shahdara, one of the most commonly used routes for the Kanwar yatra, turns into a 24x7 passageway of non-stop religious processions as trucks and vehicles are laden with several boomboxes playing deafening music as they pass through the area. Residents say they, especially affecting children and the elderly, get no respite from early morning until late evening. 'It felt like we were living inside a DJ club. We are often not able to hear ourselves talk…the business has also been affected. It seemed that the loudspeakers were just outside our windows. Even with all the windows shut, we could feel the vibration in our walls, and spent the last three days without any sleep,' said a resident of Seelampur who runs a store in the area. The resident did not want to be named. Another resident, a retired teacher who lives in Kabul Nagar, said the main road close to their house has been taken over by loud unbearable music for the last four days. 'I am a Hindu myself and a very religious person, but this kind of devotion which badly affects others is something that I do not support. The songs are still being played at full blast which sometimes makes us feel that our house is shaking,' the retired teacher said. Many shopkeepers in the area said they have seen a dip in the business due to the overwhelming noise and crowd. 'The police are deployed all around but they don't make any effort to control the volume of boomboxes,' said a shopkeeper in Navin Shahdara. The GT Road stretch, Vivek Vihar underpass, and the Seelampur T-Point are among the most congested and noise-impacted sections. Many kanwar camps have been set up along the road where returning kanwariyas often pause briefly before heading towards their hometowns. A senior police officer from Shahdara district, associated with the Kanwar Yatra security arrangement plans, said the decked-up vehicles of kanwariyas, fitted with a series of boomboxes, were entering Delhi from neighbouring states despite discussions and verbal agreements with their counterparts from other states that they would not allow any vehicles violating the sound pollution and Motor Vehicle Act norms. Shahdara in Delhi shares borders with Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh. 'Despite discussions, thousands of such vehicles playing loud music entered Shahdara through the borders, which meant that the states' police made no efforts in controlling them. In Delhi, we took certain measures to tackle the situation. It included requesting kanwariyas to lower the volume to disconnecting the cables of the boomboxes, but we took cautions while taking such actions to avoid any unnecessary confrontation or violence from kanwariyas. The situation could have been better had our counterparts in Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand taken some strict steps,' the officer added. (With inputs from Karn Pratap Singh)
