Amid Krishna name chants and blowing of conch shells, lakhs of devotees, including sadhus and sadhvis from across West Bengal and neighbouring states, took part in a mega Bhagavad Gita recital in Kolkata’s iconic Brigade Parade Ground, organisers said.
The monks, clad in saffron robes, read shlokas from copies of the Gita in unison at the venue. Senior BJP leaders, including West Bengal BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar, Union minister Sukanta Majumdar, ex-MP Locket Chatterjee and MLA Agnimitra Paul, and prominent religious figures, including Swami Pradiptananda Maharaj, popularly known as Kartik Maharaj, and Dhirendra Shastri, took part in the event.
