Kanpur: Around 2pm, Anandeshwar Temple in Parmat and its surroundings echoed with “HAR HARAT MAHADEV” and “Anandeshwar Maharaj Ki Jai Ho” when the Sanctum Sanctorum gate from the temple opened for worshipers for the first Monday of Sharawan’s Moon.
Instead worshipers waiting outside Sanctum Sanctorum.
There is a long queue of Shiva worshipers who are men and women to offer their prayers.
As announced by the temple government, Sanctum Sanctorum doors opened for worshipers after “Shayan Aarti”.
Those who saw the god of their Lord with the first rays of the day thanked the god Shiva.
The temple government has been running the path of the Parmatan police station.
The district government has placed a barricade of about 200 meters before the temple to check the movement of the vehicle.
Ram Kumar, flowers and sweet sellers said the worshipers reached the temple after midnight and patiently waited until 2 o’clock in the morning reading “Ho Treasure Mahadev” and “Bhole Nath to Jai Ho” from time to time.
Temporary worshipers and sandals from them collect water from Ganga flowing in the Temple’s footprint and offering their Lord to please him.
The government has raised Sanctum Sanctorum and no one was allowed to go there.
The worshipers must go through channels to offer milk and ganga water to “shivling”.
The worshipers tried to maintain social distance but some of them reached the temple without a mask.
The almost similar scene was witnessed at Siddheshwar Temple, Jageshwar Temple, and Bankhandeshwar Temple was seen offering milk to Lord Shiva.
Those who cannot reach the Shone Temple offer their prayers, water and milk at Siva temples in their Aeeas.
Milk, sweet vendors and flowers are indeed a quick business on that occasion from the first Monday of Shrawan.
