Viral video: In the month of Sawan, the Kavad Yatra is considered a very sacred opportunity according to Hinduism. During this time millions of people offer water to Haridwar or their major temples. It is believed that traveling Kavad fulfills their wishes. However, many controversies have been reported so far in the Kandar Yatra 2025. Sometimes Congress leader Digvijay Singh questions this, sometimes a video of violence comes out during the Kandar Yatra, and sometimes Muslim shopkeepers are forbidden to set up shops by Hindu organizations.
Video viral
Now one such video is going viral on social media. It can be clearly seen in this video that a Muslim shopkeeper had set up a fruit shop, then some people come and threaten him to “keep the shop closed for the whole month of Sawan, or write a name on it, otherwise the next time there will be sabotage!” In this video, the people of the Hindu organization ask the Muslim shopkeeper, “Why didn’t you write a name at your shop?” And threatening him, “If you do not write the name anymore, there will be stone pelting next time.” This video is being reported from Dehradun and has become increasingly viral on social media.

This video has been seen by more than 35,000 people so far. People have given their reactions to this. A user has written in favor of the Hindu organization, “What is the problem in writing their names?” At the same time, another user wrote, “It is not right to target a community.” While the third user wrote, “Will the name now be asked on the basis of religion?”
Rules related to Kanwar Yatra:
1. No one should touch:
In the Kandar Yatra, all the devotees should give the most respect to their kanvad. You should never let your kavad touch another person. Kavad should always be handled by his hand and it is very important to maintain his purity. Other people should not touch your kavad, so that its sanctity remains.
2. Kavad should not be placed on the ground:
Kavad should never be placed on the ground. Kavad should always be handled with you, no matter where you are stopping. Keeping a kavad on the ground is like reducing its purity, so always keep it up or keep it on your shoulder.
