In a significant display of devotion, approximately 10,000 Kanwaria pilgrims have converged at the Kashi Vishwanath temple on the auspicious first Monday of Sawan. Devotees like Amar Yadav highlighted the immense turnout, underscoring the religious fervor prevalent during this period.

Among the faithful, Rupesh Kumar from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, shared his spiritual journey, stating that he seeks nothing from the divine but the opportunity to offer water to his god, standing since 1 AM.
