Kanwar Yatra suspended leaving devotees and organisers disappointed

The Kanwar Yatra, which commences with the onset of the Hindu month of monsoon (Sawan) in July every year draws a crowd of millions of Kanwarias (devotees) who after collecting holy Ganges water from Hardwar in Uttarakhand walk on foot towards their home carrying the Kanwar on their shoulders and offer it to Lord Shiva on the occasion of Shiv Ratri.
