Amidst unprecedented security in view of the ongoing holy month of Ramzan fasting, scores of small processions on bikes were carried out to mark Sri Rama Navami in the city on Sunday. The main procession from Sitarambagh, however, was led by BJP MLA Raja Singh.
The environs of Sitarambagh, Mangalhat, Begum Bazaar, Gowliguda, Koti and surrounding areas reverberated with chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ by thousands of Ram Bhakts found waving giant saffron flags in the scorching heat.
At Rani Avanthi Bai hall, the BJP MLA performed puja to the huge idol of Lord Rama and commenced the Shobha yatra. A large number of youngsters sporting saffron caps, kurtas, and scarves, were dancing to the high-decibel tunes coming from humongous music systems in the procession.
