Devotees take out Hanuman Jayanti procession in West Bengal's Howrah

'Shri Hanuman Bhakt Mandal' takes out a procession in Howrah's Belur on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday urged people to celebrate the Hanuman Jayanti festival peacefully, and said while religion is a personal choice, festivities were an occasion for all to join in. Her appeal comes on the eve of the festival dedicated to Lord Hanuman and within days of the state witnessing a series of violent clashes and vandalism in the industrial districts of Howrah and Hooghly during processions celebrating Ram Navami.
