Pilgrimage to Tarakeshwar, Month of Shravan. Lakhs and lakhs of Pilgrims bathe Shiva with Holy water

​Join me on a unique spiritual journey to Tarakeswar, one of West Bengal's most revered pilgrimage sites! This video captures the incredible sight of thousands of pilgrims, a river of humanity, making their dedicated trek, carrying holy water from distant sources towards the sacred Taraknath Temple. Witness their unwavering faith and determination as they complete this arduous journey, a testament to their devotion to Lord Shiva.
Pilgrims to Tarakeswar, particularly during the Shravani Mela in July-August, carry holy water from the Ganges (specifically from the Nimai Tirtha Ghat in Baidyabati) to offer to Lord Shiva at the Taraknath Temple. This water is typically carried in small containers or pots, often suspended from a bamboo pole (known as a "kanwar") across the pilgrims' shoulders. The journey to Tarakeswar is often undertaken barefoot and is a distance of approximately 40 kilometers.
The primary item carried is Ganga Jal (holy water from the Ganges River).Pilgrims, often referred to as "Jal Jatris" or "Kanwariyas," carry the water in small containers suspended from a "kanwar".
Barefoot Journey:Many pilgrims walk the entire distance barefoot, adding to the physical challenge of the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage route from Baidyabati to Tarakeswar is approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles).
While Ganga water is the primary offering, pilgrims may also carry other items like milk and other traditional offerings for the puja.
