Downpour fails to dampen spirit on Sawan Shivratri
Hindustan Times Haryana
|July 24, 2025
On Sawan Shivratri, Meerut woke up to overcast skies and the sound of rainfall. Since early morning, light rain made way for intense showers, yet the devotion of kanwariyas at the historic Augharnath Temple remained unwavering.
Light showers began at 7:45 am, lasting about 15 minutes. By 9.45 am, the rain intensified, drenching the city in a downpour that led to waterlogging in several areas. Yet, far from being discouraged, Lord Shiva's devotees marched forward — some even performing dandavat parikrama, bowing after every step as they moved toward the temple to offer Jalabhishek.
The rain, rather than halting the fervour, became part of the spiritual experience. Kanwariyas, barefoot and soaked, chanted hymns and proceeded with their ritual offerings. The temple precincts resonated with conch shells, bells, and the echo of “Har Har Mahadev,” even as city roads were filled with water.
