BOLBAM

Bolbam On the road to Allahabad I met thousands of pilgrims, mostly young men, walking barefoot and wearing orange color. They were going to Varanasi (Benaras) in order to worship river Ganga. It is the month of Saawan, the month of Shiva where we have to eat strictly vegetarian only, and any Indian from Uttar Pradesh has to do this pilgrimage at least once in its life. We can hear them singing or shouting “Bolbam” which is another name for Lord Shiva in order to feel the strength to carry on. This year I feel that there are more people than usual and the long orange line there are making on the roads is really impressive.
