NEW DELHI: (Jul 16) The city government has set up 17 welcome gates for the Kanwar Yatra, similar to those seen at the Mahakumbh, to greet pilgrims entering the national capital, Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra said on Wednesday.
While inspecting the camps set up for pilgrims at the Apsara border in east Delhi, Mishra also told reporters that 374 camps have been set up this year, more than double the 170 camps that were established the previous year.
“This year’s arrangements are historic. The welcome gates are symbolic of our devotion. Twelve of them are named after the 12 Jyotirlingas, while the remaining ones are also dedicated to Lord Shiva,” he said.
