The month of Sawan is very special for Shiva devotees. Sawan is starting from July 11 this year and the first is falling on Monday 14 July. In this holy month, devotees observe fast and worship Bholenath. Also, during this period, the Kavad Yatra is also done, in which the devotees take a walk with Ganga water and offer it on the Shivling.
If you are also making up your mind to go on a Kanwar Yatra for the first time, then do some important preparations, so that the journey is easy, safe and facilitated.
Long distance has to be traveled during the Kandar Yatra, in such a situation, light and comfortable clothes such as T-shirts, half pants or pajamas are better. Also, keep good quality slippers or shoes which are comfortable and durable. In view of the rainy season, do not forget to keep an umbrella or raincoat.
It is common to have minor injuries or health problems during walking. Therefore, keep a small first aid box, including bandage, dhatol, cotton, antiseptic cream, body pen or headache medicine, vomiting and acidity pill, ORS powder. If you are suffering from BP, sugar or any other disease, then take your medicines along with consultation from the doctor.
