ll Unwavering Devotion in Shravan: Carries 135-kg Kanwar to Deoghar Jyotirlinga ll
During the holy month of Shravan, devotees of Lord Shiva express their unwavering faith in various ways — some perform arduous dandavat pilgrimages, while others take part in the fast-paced Dak Kanwar Yatra. Among these passionate devotees stands a shining example of devotion: Asmit Singh, a young man from Housing Complex, Ward No. 29 of Serampore Municipality.
Asmit undertook an extraordinary journey by lifting a 135-kg Kanwar from Sultanganj (Bihar) and walking all the way to the sacred Baba Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.
Despite the physical strain and long distance, Asmit completed the pilgrimage with sheer determination, deep faith, and unwavering devotion. His feat has not only become a symbol of spiritual commitment but also serves as an inspiration to thousands of other devotees.
This Shravan, Asmit Singh's dedication stands tall as a powerful testament to the enduring faith in Lord Shiva.
