Annada Mangal Annada Mangal (Bengali: "অন্নদামঙ্গল" ), or Nutan Mangal (Bengali: "নূতনমঙ্গল" ), is a Bengali narrative poem in three parts by Bharatchandra Ray, written in 1752-53. It eulogizes Hindu goddess Annapurna, a form of Parvati, worshipped in Bengal. It is the only poem in medieval Mangalkavya tradition that does not create a separate subgenre as no other poet ever ventured to praise Annapurna in their works.
