Devotees head for Shiva shrines ahead of 1st Monday of Shravan
1 2 Bhubaneswar: Devotees carrying water in pots and balancing them on their shoulders, attached to decorated slings, were spotted along the roads as they headed to shrines of Lord Shiva ahead of the first Monday of the holy month of Shravan. District administrations have made elaborate arrangements at water bodies and Shiva temples across the state to ensure the safety and security of the devotees. "This year we issued guidelines for devotees to fetch water only from Gadagadia Ghat at Mahanadi river and not from any other place to avoid accidents. We also deployed ODRAF and fire personnel for emergencies. We put up steel barricades, temporary toilets, and changing rooms for the convenience of devotees," Cuttack mayor Subash Singh said on Sunday. Last year, three devotees had drowned while fetching water from the Mahanadi. Police have begun patrolling to ensure the safety of Kanwariyas. Amidst chants of 'Bol Bom', the Kanwariyas began their pilgrimage. Undeterred by rain and humidity, the devotees completed their journey to seek blessings and spiritual solace. Makeshift tents have been put up along the road where devotees can rest on their way. "I have been taking up the Shravan trail for the last seven years and cover the distance from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar on Mondays to pour water on Lord Lingaraj. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Biguaçu (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo It is my faith in the Lord and his blessings," said 38-year-old Samesh Sahu, an employee in a private company.
