\"Kanwar<\/div>\n
The nearly fortnight-long Kanwar fair came to an end here on Friday with a huge crowd of devotees thronging the Lord Shiv temples<\/a> dotting the city to perform “jalabhishek” on the occasion of Shiv Chaturdashi<\/a>. The devotees also made an offering of the holy Ganga<\/a> ‘Jal’ (water) at the Daksheshwar Mahadev temple<\/a> located in Kankhal which is believed to be the place of Lord Shiva’s in-laws. <\/p>\n

It is believed that the deity stays for a month during the month of ‘Shravan’ in Daksheshwar Mahadev<\/a> temple.<\/p>\n

It is said that Lord Shiv fulfils the wishes of the devotees who anoint him with milk, honey, ‘bel patra’ and Ganga Jal<\/a> on this occasion. <\/p>\n

Officials here said around 4.5 crore ‘kanwariyas<\/a>‘ reached Haridwar<\/a> to collect Ganga water during the Kanwar fair this year.<\/p>\n
