Overview
Shrimad Bhagwat Katha for families in Chowk
Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, often held as a Bhagwat Saptah, is a seven day programme in which a kathavachak recites and explains the Shrimad Bhagavatam. Each day covers a set portion, from the stories of Parikshit and Shukadev to the birth and lila of Lord Krishna.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥
Sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalye śive sarvārthasādhike, śaraṇye tryambake gauri nārāyaṇi namo'stu te.
