An unusual spectacle related to deep faith and devotion unfolded in Kasgandzhe. Local residents witnessed a pilgrimage procession, the central element of which was a canopy with a 131-meter long Hanuman tail.
Forty followers, who arrived from the village of Naua, located in the Filiabad district, traveled to Laha Gagat in Sorondji. There, they took a dip and performed religious rites, after which they filled the canopy with water from the Ganges.
A distinctive feature of this grand canopy was the figure of one of the pilgrims, who depicted Hanuman and Jamwant. His long tail was filled with Ganges water, while forty other pilgrims moved, carrying this tail in the guise of monkeys.
The pilgrims included people dressed in various religious costumes. Bobi Ningua assumed the form of Hanuman, whose long tail contained Ganges water carried by forty pilgrims in the form of monkeys. Additionally, Nathuni Prasad appeared as Lord Shiva, and Uday represented Jamwant. These figures made the journey special and attracted the attention of passersby.
After obtaining water from Laha Gagat, the group set off, passing through Sorondji, Prahladapur, Gorakha, Bhitauna, and Kasgandzhe, heading towards Filiabad. Many people gathered along the way to see this enormous canopy. Local residents welcomed the pilgrims, and the entire route was accompanied by shouts of 'Bam Bole.'
Bobi Ningua, who took the form of Hanuman, stated that this was his first visit to Laha Gagat in Sorondji to obtain Ganges water, and he wished for his canopy to be as unique as possible. This is why he decided to organize the pilgrimage themed around Hanuman.
In this unique procession, which featured the Hanuman tail, also participated Bole Shankar, a 36-year-old measuring three and a half feet tall, who walked in the guise of a monkey. He mentioned that this idea belonged to his uncle.
This pilgrimage procession with the unique Hanuman tail caused widespread resonance among believers. Such religious events strengthen spiritual faith and convey the message of devotion to both the youth and the general population.
