Independence Day fest of the Ganj Carnival Lucknow
In wake of the 76th National Independence Day, an Azadi Carnival will be arranged in Lucknow and will bring together the history, arts, and cultures from over the country. Being held along the lines of the well-known Ganj Carnival, this event is a move to help impress patriotism among the citizens of Lucknow and will be organized from August 11 to August 14.
As part of this, Hazratganj, Ashok Marg, and nearby areas will be embellished with lights and attractive curios. Buildings in Ganj will be painted pink, for which the authorities, as well as the dealer, have agreed. The Azadi Carnival will pack entertainment and food into one gala collection, bringing the cumulative essence of India right here in Lucknow.
A transformative event for nationalism
This grand-scale event calls for a modification of the main areas in Lucknow. During the event, all of Hazratganj will be transformed into a no-traffic zone and the carnival will run from 7 pm to 11 pm. Several cultural programs will also be seen here, in inclusion to handicrafts and food stalls.
As per Dr. Indramani Tripathi, Vice President, LDA, "there will be programs associated with patriotism. For this, the entire Hazratganj will be decorated. Constructions will start soon. A decision on this Azadi Carnival was taken in a meeting held at LDA last Friday, under the chairmanship of the administrators."
Talk about decorations, all the boards in front of the shops will be painted in the same color and will be made in the same size for uniformity. This work will have to be done by the shopkeepers themselves and apart from this, all the buildings in Hazratganj will be embellished with tricolor lights. Composition for the same is on in full swing, even in Ashok Marg. LDA has transferred the rules to all the buildings on this route.
Heart of Lucknow to get a makeover
Forwards of the Carnival, Hazratganj, and Ashok Marg will be conscientiously cleaned. The roads and lights will be repaired and fixed. Also, dividers and stroller pavements will be painted.
Excited to go Ganjing once again in a fresh and vibrant Hazratganj? We can't wait either!
