In Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground, a massive Bhagavad Gita recital, titled 'Panch Lakkho Konthe Gita Path', drew lakhs of devotees for spiritual harmony. Organized by Sanatan Sanskriti Sansad, the event sought to unite people through scripture, amidst political tensions in West Bengal ahead of elections.

In a grand display of devotion, lakhs of people, including sadhus and sadhvis from across West Bengal, gathered at Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground for a collective recitation of the Bhagavad Gita. Known as 'Panch Lakkho Konthe Gita Path', the event was orchestrated by the Sanatan Sanskriti Sansad.

The attendees, dressed in saffron robes, read shlokas from the revered text in unison, while prominent figures from the BJP and other religious leaders joined the spiritual initiative aimed at invoking harmony and peace during divisive times. The gathering comes amid the backdrop of political tensions in the state.

Organizers ensured elaborate arrangements for managing the crowd and maintaining security at the venue. The event, seen as a move to promote social cohesion, took place shortly after a politically sensitive mosque foundation in West Bengal, marking a significant point in the region's complex socio-political landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
