Residents of Lucknow recently witnessed an unusual sight — a massive bottle gourd (lauki) placed at the bustling 1090 Chauraha, one of the city's most frequented public spots. Passersby couldn't help but stop and stare, some filming the spectacle, while others tried to decipher the meaning behind this oversized vegetable installation.
As curiosity spread, a video of the lauki was widely shared on social media. The person behind the camera playfully asked viewers to guess its purpose, hinting at something beyond mere street art. Before long, the reason was revealed — the giant lauki was part of a clever marketing strategy for the upcoming season 4 of the popular web series Panchayat.
