As the Uttarvahini Panchkoshi Narmada Parikrama commenced from March 29, more than 50,000 devotees completed the parikrama in the first two days since the beginning. Narmada Police had made elaborate arrangements to provide security to the devotees participating in the parikrama.
More than 50,000 devotees completed the 21 km route of the parikrama in two days. The district administration has also arranged for tents and railings in the parikrama for the convenience of the devotees. Additionally, both police and swimmers have been deployed on the river banks to prevent any inopportune events during the parikrama.
The parikrama starts from the Keedi Makodi Ghat in the village of Rampura. Moving forward, one is required to cross the river from the river bank near Tilakwada in a boat, visit the opposite bank, and come back in the boat. Thus, the river Narmada is crossed twice in the parikrama. A jetty has also been arranged at Vamaleshwar in the Hansot taluka for the parikrama.
The route of the parikrama passes through Shaherav Ghat, Rengan Ghat, Rampura Ghat, and Tilakwada Ghat of the Narmada river. The parikrama will continue till April 27.
