💨 Abstract

In Lucknow, the Bada Mangal season began on May 13, with large crowds of devotees attending Hanuman temples across the city despite the hot weather. This marks the first Tuesday of the Hindu month of Jestha, an auspicious time when Lord Hanuman is believed to have first met Lord Rama. Over 400 bhandaras, or community feasts, are being organized in the city.
