A grand Mahalanth Conference & Holi Song Competition is set to take place on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at Ashoka Pillar, Shankarpur, Gorakhpur. Organized by Bhikhari Prajapati, this event is being held in memory of folk poet Late Ramgati Maurya Munshi Ji, featuring humor, Holi celebrations, and a traditional Holi song competition as its main highlights.
The term “Mahalanth” is generally used humorously, but in this conference, it will be presented in a positive and entertaining manner. The event will provide a space for people to break free from daily stress, share laughter, and spread joy. This unique blend of humor and folk culture fosters social and mental well-being.
