Public appeal for the traditional ‘Puli veshalu’ (tiger dance) has picked up in the city after a gap of three years, thanks to Ganesh pandal organisers, who are hiring the artistes to perform during the immersion of Lord Ganesh idols.
Owing to the stringent rules for setting up pandals and the COVID-19 pandemic, the artistes could not get any opportunity to showcase their talent in the past three years. With the relaxation of norms, however, they are back in action.
