The method of transporting the holy water is left up to the devotee undertaking the task. The journey in older times would only draw saints or the elderly walking to and fro with simple kanwars, but rising popularity since the 1980s has swung demographics towards a younger and more masculine crowd. Kanwariyas may undertake the journey solo, with elaborate kanwars that may not touch the ground or even as a team, using motorcycles and trucks to run relays without a pause in the movement of the Gangajal.
