In this video, we witness pilgrims walking barefoot along the road to collect holy water from the Ganga River, a devotional act deeply rooted in faith and tradition. Many devotees can be seen carrying Kanwars, beautifully decorated poles used to bring back the sacred water for religious rituals. As the procession moves forward, the Ghaziabad road becomes a blend of spiritual energy and everyday movement, with cars and even an ambulance passing through the route. The video also shows police personnel managing traffic and ensuring the safety of the pilgrims as they continue their journey with dedication and discipline. The vibrant Kanwars, rhythmic footfalls, and devotion-filled atmosphere highlight the significance of this annual religious practice.
