The Story in Brief
A video of Kanwar Yatra devotees carrying a large illuminated Lord Hanuman idol during a nighttime procession in Sawan has gone viral on social media. The idol, surrounded by colourful lights, was accompanied by devotees holding saffron flags. Onlookers stopped to record the spectacle, while online users responded with devotional chants. ABP Live reports the unconventional Kanwar has drawn praise as one of the most striking displays of the month, but the pilgrimage's focus remains on faith.
The Indian Opinion
Social media celebrates the spectacle as a triumph of devotion, but it also feeds the lazy narrative that louder, bigger displays equal deeper faith. The same energy that lights a giant idol seldom builds a village school or cleans a temple tank. The real test will be whether the same Kanwariyas who stopped traffic for a glowing statue also stop to ask where their local water crisis went.
