Sawan 2023: A large number of Kanwariyas are reaching Baba Mandir on the fifth and Purushottam month of Sawan and on the third Monday of Bangla Sawan. The Baba Mandir administration has made complete preparations for providing accessible water to these devotees and for crowd control. A huge crowd of devotees was seen in the Baba Mandir since Sunday. On the other hand, Kanwariyas had started queuing up in the route line since late Sunday night for water-consecration on Monday. This time, even after two months of Shravani Mela, a large number of Kanwariyas continue to arrive every day. The Kanwariyas who come to Baba Mandir do not want to miss the opportunity to take back the memories of Kanwar Yatra after offering water. For this reason, Kanwariyas are being seen taking selfies in the Baba Mandir premises. Shivraj Singh, who came from Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa, said that time is very powerful, no one can say what will happen to whom. That’s why Baba is taking his picture in the temple.
The number of kanwariyas started increasing since noon
On Sunday, after the doors of the Baba temple opened at the appointed time in the morning, priest Ajay Jha performed the daily Sardari Puja for about 40 minutes with Baba’s Shodshopachar method. After this, from around 4.15 am, through Argha, water offering was started for common Kanwaris. As soon as the doors opened, the Kanwariyas kept offering water while chanting Bolbam. On the other hand, an increase was seen in the number of Kanwariyas coming to Babadham after 2 pm on Monday. Seeing the crowd, there is a possibility that the queue will be longer on Monday.
