Indian Hindu Kanwarias, worshippers of Hindu God Shiva carry metal canisters filled with holy water from the Ganges River as they walk towards Padilla Mahadev temple on the outskirts of Allahabad. Kanwarias are devotees performing a ritual pilgrimage in which they walk the roads of India clad in saffron and carry ornately decorated canisters of the sacred water of the Ganges River over their shoulders to take it back to Hindu temples in their hometowns. Hundreds of Kanwarias traveled to Allahabad to the revered local Shiva temple.
