Ahead of the auspicious month of Sawan, Kanwariyas have started arriving in Sultanganj, Bihar. Devotees heading to Baba Baidyanath Dham are gathering here to collect holy Ganga Jal. These groups of Kanwariyas are departing from Sultanganj, carrying the sacred water, for Baba Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar. Local administration and volunteer organizations are actively engaged in making arrangements to ensure the convenience and safety of the pilgrims.

Every year during Sawan, millions of devotees visit Sultanganj to collect water from the northward-flowing Ganga and embark on a barefoot pilgrimage to Deoghar. This journey, known as 'Kanwar Yatra,' symbolizes unwavering devotion to Lord Shiva. This year, preparations are in full swing even before Sawan begins. Ghats are being cleaned, security arrangements are being tightened, and medical facilities are being set up to prevent any inconvenience to the Kanwariyas.

The administration has emphasized special attention to crowd control, traffic management, and security during the Kanwar Yatra. Police forces are being deployed at various locations, and surveillance will be maintained through CCTV cameras. Additionally, volunteer organizations are arranging food, water, and rest facilities for the pilgrims. During this sacred journey, the entire region is immersed in a devotional atmosphere. The enthusiasm and devotion of the Kanwariyas make this pilgrimage truly special.
