51-Kundiya Mahayagya and Shri Hanumant Katha to be held from November 13 to 20
Gonda: Gonda is set to take on a devotional atmosphere with the Shri Hanumant Katha and Hanumant Mahayagya organised by the Shri Mehandipur Balaji Parivar. Preparations for the eight-day religious event have gathered pace, with a grand Kalash and Nishan procession scheduled for Thursday, November 12.
A meeting of the organising committee was held at Shri Mahadev Lawn on Wednesday to finalise arrangements. Members appealed to devotees to participate in large numbers and seek blessings through the religious programmes.
The opening procession will begin from the Old Hanumangarhi Temple and pass through major routes of the city before reaching the venue at Shri Mahadev Lawn on Bahraich Road, where it will conclude. A large turnout of devotees is expected.
The Shri Hanumant Katha will be organised daily from November 13 to 20, between 4 pm and 7 pm. Alongside it, a 51-Kundiya Hanumant Mahayagya will be performed every morning from 7 am to 10 am under the guidance of Yagyacharya Pawan Bajpai of Naimisharanya, Sitapur.
In a special arrangement for devotees, the organisers have introduced a provision allowing individuals to become yajmans for a single day according to their convenience and participate in the sacred fire rituals by offering ahutis.
The eight-day programme will conclude on November 20 with a grand Sawamani Bhandara.
Several members of the Shri Mehandipur Balaji Parivar are involved in organising the event. Those present at the preparatory meeting included Sunil Kumar Rastogi, Shanu Gupta, Binu Kushwaha, Chandan Mishra, Vivek Singh, Somnath Rastogi, Gaurav Rastogi, Prateek Tandon, Anurag Sharma, Monu Gupta, Ajay Kasodhan, Chandan Arya, Shubham Kasodhan, Satyam Gupta and Nikhil Kasodhan, among others.
