The final phase of the Sawan Kanwar Mela is underway in Haridwar, and the Dak Kanwar procession has also gained momentum. On August 11th, Lord Shiva's abhishek (water consecration) is scheduled for Shivratri. Consequently, a large crowd of Dak Kanwar pilgrims on bikes is arriving in Haridwar to collect Ganga water. The large number of Kanwar pilgrims arriving at Shankaracharya Chowk has created a traffic jam.
