Downpour fails to dampen spirit on Sawan Shivratri

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.
