Sawan Shivratri, a significant Hindu festival, will be observed on August 2nd this year. Devotees across India will fast and pray to Lord Shiva. The Kanwar Yatra, a pilgrimage to collect holy water for offerings, will also come to an end on this day.
To ensure the safety of children and facilitate the annual Kanwar Yatra, all schools in Ghaziabad will be closed from July 29 to August 2. This closure is due to the heavy influx of devotees carrying ‘holy water’ from Haridwar, causing road closures and traffic restrictions.
