A group of Muslim residents of Pension Mohalla in Hassan offered prayers to Ganesha during the procession of Panchajanya Ganapati in the city on Monday. This gesture by the Muslim residents has been appreciated widely.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangha activists of Hassan city had installed Ganesha on the premises of Hasanamba Kalakshetra. On the final day, the organisers took out a procession of the idol on prominent streets of the city, before immersing the idol at Devigere.
As the procession reached Pension Mohalla, a group of Muslim men and women offered a garland, lighted incense sticks, did aarati and offered a coconut. A video clip of their prayer is doing rounds in the city.
