Kanwar Yatra 2023: Welcome to the hidden world of economic wonders surrounding the Kanwar Yatra! While some may dismiss it as a mere nuisance, we’re here to reveal the untold truth about the festival’s astonishing economic benefits. Get ready to be enlightened and entertained as we explore the impact of this grand event that keeps our country thriving with joy and commerce.
India’s Economic Crisis Repellent
Move over, economic crises! India has the ultimate shield against financial woes, and it’s none other than our infinite festivals. Among them, the Kanwar Yatra reigns supreme. When we have a calendar full of festivities, recession is only a joke!
Oh, those pesky colonial hangovers! Some so-called intellectuals still harbor a disdain for our indigenous culture. They scoff at the Kanwar Yatra, claiming it’s populated by “indisciplined, anti-social elements.” Theyāre the same guys who even opine that had children been given books instead of Kanwar, India wouldnāt have been backward. Amateurs!
See, Kanwar Yatra isn’t for the faint-hearted. Carrying bamboo pitchers (Kanwads) on bare feet, with no time for rest, it’s a true test of devotion for Shiv Bhakts. They won’t settle for anything less than completing their Yatra and having their prayers answered by Lord Shiva. It’s a cultural journey like no other!

The Underrated Commercial Potential
Here’s the juicy bit: the Kanwar Yatra is an economic powerhouse, and not many realize its true potential and why would those super-educated intellectuals want the masses to know? It would ruin their “backwardness” narrative, dictated by their secret masters.
To become a Kanwariya, all you need are saffron clothes and a Kanwar made of bamboo to carry the holy Gangajal. Who makes these Kanwars? Carpenters, of course! Take Varanasi as an example. With an estimated 5 crore Kanwariyas this year, each carrying 1 or 2 Kanwars, imagine the economic value of 10 crore bamboo wonders!
Let’s zoom in on Meerut. Just from this one city, we’re talking about a whopping 500 crores earned through Kanwar Yatra-related production. And this is only for the yatris bound for Haridwar, we haven’t even touched base in places like Deoghar or Varanasi yet. It’s a festival that keeps the economic wheels turning.
The Holistic Economic Marvel
When on a Yatra, Kanwariyas require amenities and refreshments. This leads to the flourishing of roadside dhabas, dharmshalas, and eateries. Even Bihar alone earns a bountiful revenue of 2000 crore rupees bi-monthly! And all this without any fancy schemes or subsidies. A couple of months of festivities, and crores of revenue in the pockets!
Bells, Ghunghroos, and More: But wait, there’s more! It’s not just bamboo and wood that make the Kanwars magical. In Aligarh and Eta, the production of bells and ghunghroos, which festoon the Kanwars, supports millions of livelihoods. Who says Aligarh is only known for locks? It’s time to give those bells a ring!

When we factor in T-shirt sales, refreshments, and other associated industries, the Kanwar Yatra becomes a self-sustaining economic marvel. It provides employment for millions of skilled and unskilled workers. Anyone who protests or mocks this Yatra is essentially against the economic progress of our country. It’s as simple as that!
All in all, the holy Kanwar Yatra isn’t just a spiritual journey but an economic extravaganza. It fuels industries, supports livelihoods, and keeps the cash registers ringing. So, let’s celebrate the grandeur of this festival and embrace the undeniable truth that those who oppose it are simply missing out on the economic miracles happening right under their noses. Kudos to the Kanwar Yatra and its enchanting blend of devotion and economic prosperity!
Har Har Mahadev!
