Sanatan Dharma Yuvak Sabha created history by celebrating 75th five-day historic Dussehra Mahotsav at Kasturchand Park. RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat graced the event as chief guest. He congratulated the organisers and said the festival symbolised victory of virtues over vices. The programme commenced with offering prayers to the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnad. This was followed by cultural performances featuring Dhol-Tasha, Gujarati Garba and Marathi Gondhal, which enthralled the audience.

 

A dance drama, ‘Madhav Prem Se Mahabharat Tak’, presented by the transgender group of Vishva Mamatva Foundation, proved a major attraction. A light-and-sound presentation depicting the entire Ramayana at Baradari captivated the audience. Other eminents who graced the occasion were Padma Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, MLAs Nitin Raut and Krishna Khopde, former Mayor Dayashankar Tiwari and others. The programme was conducted by Narendra Satija and RJ Farhan, while Vinay Oberoi proposed a vote of thanks. The five-day celebration marked a significant milestone in the Sabha’s long-standing tradition of organising the annual Dussehra festival in the city.
