|December 07, 2025
Ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, Kolkata’s iconic Brigade Parade Ground will host a mega Bhagavad Gita chanting on Sunday, with organisers claiming the participation of five lakh devotees amid the expected presence of top religious figures and senior BJP leaders.
Christened ‘Panch Lakkho Konthe
Gita Path’ (Gita chanting by five lakh voices), the programme is organised by the Sanatan Sanskriti Sansad, a body of spiritual leaders drawn from various monasteries and Hindu religious institutions. It is being projected as the largest collective Gita recital ever attempted in West Bengal, and possibly in the country.
