The Years Before
Every year's bhandara is made possible by the community's families, and every year's donor list stays on the site — 2025 and 2024 are open; this year's is being added to 2026.
The Shri Narmadeshwar Mahadev Kavad Yatra in Sawan and the Shri Hanuman temple construction are the community's events too. Photographs from past years are in the gallery.
Vishal Bhandara
Every year during Navratri, Lodha Samaj Indore holds the Vishal Bhandara (a large community meal) and the Nagar Kanya Pujan. The event is possible only with the support of the community's families.
Support for the bhandara can be given as sugar, flour, oil, salt, ghee, mawa or cash. The names of those who contribute are recorded in the donor list.
