Viral Video: The month of Sawan is here, bringing with it that endearing Kanwad Yatra, when devotees of Lord Shiva take to a holy pilgrimage to get their vows completed. With the Kanwad Yatra at its full vibrant display, various videos and pictures are going viral on social media, which showcase some glimpse into this devotion and craze. One such recent video has drawn a lot of eyeballs to itself, engaging people in discussions and pleasing them.
Unique Kanwad Yatra Journey Captured
The video shared by deepak_s_vlogs on Instagram shows a couple who has taken up the Kanwad Yatra, with the couple carrying 61 liters of water with them as part of their devotion. Now, the most amazing thing in this video is not solely the commitment of the boy and the girl for their spiritual journey but also that they are so candid and even humorous while narrating during the pilgrimage. During the interview, she started hitting the boy, and that created a mixed expression of amusement and surprise.
The boy in the video asked about the girl’s name, and she said her name was Lakshmi Kumari. The girl responded that they were going to marry five days after the water offering when asked about their marriage date. The conversation became a little funny when she said that she fights a lot, which made the entire scene of their devotion light-headed. The boy also spoke about how social media works when it comes to popularity, adding, with a bit of tongue-in-cheek, that most girls all seem to have tons more followers, and that viral content always seems to drive from entertaining antics.
Spiritual Journey Meets Social Media
This playful exchange, captured on camera, has quickly become a sensation, amassing over 200,000 likes since it was posted four days ago. The reactions to the video are mixed; some viewers find the interactions of this couple quite endearing and a refreshing take on the Kanwad Yatra, while others suggest that the video is a new tactic to get famous on social media.
It is the blend of spirituality with modern-day social media culture that creates this video, calling attention to how traditional practices change to accommodate ancient rituals intertwined with contemporary expressions of devotion and popularity.
