The website has made it easy for people across the globe to get all the information and updates regarding bhandaras happening nearby. I really liked the doodle type of pictures in the history making it more engaging. Lets not forget how spot maps are created using Hanuman ji's Gada making it more relatable to the auspicious occasion. I don't think any website could be better than this. Glad you took the initiative and done a wonderful job. 🙏

Demn boi, good work! In our city Allahabad we have a humungous student diaspora, on every such Tuesdays there's an unofficial ritual that students will not cook and go on bhandara hopping around the city. Badhiya WhatsApp group bana rakha hai kab kaha kidhar kya mil raha haha.

Frequently asked
Common questions about Bada Mangal
The tradition, the dates, the bhandaras, and the site, all in one place.
- Bada Mangal is the Tuesday community-meal tradition of Lucknow, observed every Tuesday of the Hindu month of Jyeshtha (May to June). Free bhandaras open across the city to feed everyone who comes through Hanuman Ji's blessing. The tradition is around 400 years old, dating back to Nawab Saadat Ali Khan's vow.
