Walking Pass-By

The Kanwarias of India...

A bit about Kanwarias: Kanwarias are the devotees of Lord Shiva. Every year in the month of "Shravana" (according to the Hindu calander) hundred of Kanwarias walk bare foot for miles carrying holy Ganga water in their "Kavads" (pots slung on bars and carried on the shoulder) from Har-ki-Pauri in the holy town of Haridwar to Shiva temples in their native towns and villages.
