Over the next few days, the holy month of Sawan will start and witness devotees flocking to temples of Lord Shiva to offer prayers. Following the age-old tradition, saffron clad devotees will visit shrine of Shiva and offer Ganga jal (Ganga water) to the deity, known as Kanwar Yatra. On their route, there is an area covered in fig trees which is considered inauspicious by many pilgrims. Well, to cut the story short, the Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh Government took the decision to have them pruned. The government was formed in March and will see its first Sawan pilgrimage under its tenure and it is looking to ensure the devotees do not face any hardships on their way. It has therefore ordered the pruning of the cluster of fig trees falling throughout the route. According to news agency ANI, the UP Chief Minister Adityanath has, in his order, mentioned taking into consideration their inauspicious status in the mind of pilgrims.
