The giant temple on Hanuman Setu has been decorated on Bada Mangal. Bhandaras were held outside the temple at both ends. Passersby stopped at temple to get the ‘prasad’.
Like Hanuman Setu at Lucknow University road, Bhandaras were organized at various intersections and markets of the city.
Bhandara, which started from morning near Parivartan Chowk, will continue till late night. For this the workers of the social organization took the responsibility of the Bhandara. Bhandara has not been organized at Parivartan Chowk for the last two years due to covid-19 restrictions to restrain the spread of the virus.
Similarly, Bada Mangal bhandaras were held at many places in areas like Indiranagar, Vikas Nagar, Mahanagar, Nishatganj, Rajajipuram, Gomti Nagar, Chowk, Kaiserbagh, Lal Bagh, Narhi. After receiving prasad in the Bhandara organized in the colonies, people took the prasad for the family members.
