24 Grandsons Escort 95‑Year‑Old Sondevi for Ganga Bath on Kanwar Yatra

In Meerut, during the annual Kanwar Yatra, a 95‑year‑old woman named Sondevi, a resident of Hasanpur Jageer, fulfilled a long‑standing wish to bathe in the Ganga at Haridwar. Because her age made travel difficult, her 24 grandsons organized themselves as the “Mahakal Group” and carried her in a palanquin, each taking turns bearing the load on their shoulders.

The procession stopped at the Sivaya toll plaza, where crowds gathered to watch the devoted family. Sondevi chanted “Bholenath” and “Har‑Har Mahadev” throughout, while onlookers offered blessings. The group said the arrangements made by the Uttar Pradesh government under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ensured a smooth journey without any problems.
