Travel the old Kanwar road from Haridwar up to Kedarnath while Shiv bhajans play without a break. No ads cutting into a song, no playlist to build — pick the channel and let it run.
Listen to this channelFree • no ads • around the clockHaridwar to Kedarnath is roughly 250 kilometres, and on mountain roads that is about nine hours. The drive runs from Haridwar through Rishikesh, then Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Guptkashi and Sonprayag to Gaurikund. Past Gaurikund the rest is on foot, climbing beside the Mandakini.
This is the road that lakhs of Kanwariyas walk during Sawan carrying Ganga water, which is why the channel is named after it. The radio counts the remaining distance down as you listen, so the journey moves while the bhajans play.
Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and sits highest of them all, at about 3,583 metres in the Garhwal Himalaya. The Kedarnath peak rises directly behind the temple and the Mandakini runs below it.
Tradition holds that the Pandavas came here seeking Shiva in penance after the Mahabharata war, and that Adi Shankaracharya later restored the shrine. Heavy snow means the temple is not open all year: the doors open around Akshaya Tritiya and close around Bhai Dooj, and through the winter the deity is worshipped at Ukhimath.
There are two moods. Bhole ka Deewana runs the full collection of Shiv bhajans, calm devotional songs meant to keep going through a long drive. Mahakal Tandav carries the fiercer compositions, such as the Shiv Tandav Stotram and stotras in that register.
The order is reshuffled every time you open the channel, so you do not hear the same songs in the same sequence twice. Everything streams from the Best Bhakti Music channel.
Yes. No fee, no login, no subscription. The bhajans stream directly from YouTube, so the artists and the channel still get credited for every play.
This is a radio rather than a playlist, so tracks change on their own. There are skip and previous buttons, and anything you love can be saved to Meri Mala with the heart.
Yes. The audio streams at a low bitrate and the page loads no heavy images, so it holds up on 3G and on a weak signal.
Monday is traditionally Shiva's day, and the whole month of Sawan. But the radio runs around the clock, so whenever you feel like it.
