Hanuman Setu Mandir Lucknow: Neem Karoli Baba's Divine Riverside Ashram on the Gomti

The Sanctum of Devotion: Hanuman Setu Mandir

Situated on University Road overlooking the Gomti River, Hanuman Setu Mandir is a serene haven of devotion and inner peace in central Lucknow. Established under the spiritual guidance of saint Neem Karoli Baba, it is the beating heart of Lucknow's unique and world-renowned Bada Mangal festival.

Bada Mangal: Lucknow's Unique Interfaith Tradition

Every Tuesday during the Hindu month of Jyeshtha, Hanuman Setu Mandir becomes the focal point of citywide bhandaras where people of all faiths set up roadside food stalls offering free poori-sabzi, sherbet, and halwa, embodying the syncretic Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb of Lucknow.
