VISIT UTTARAKHAND MAHOTSAV IN LUCKNOW FOR FOOD & CRAFT SPECIALITIES FROM THE HILL STATE

The Lucknow Mahotsav slated for November 2019 has been rescheduled to January 2020. But, there’s another state fair on in Lucknow where you can go for a similar experience. The Uttarakhand Mahotsav is on near the Khatu Shyam Mandir in Lucknow, from Nov 9 to 18. It’s nothing like the Lucknow Mahotsav in scale, but it’s got stalls from different states, and a lot of specialities from Uttarakhand.
