Srirangapatna: The Sankeerthana Yatra or Shobha Yatra taken out by Hanuman devotees in Srirangapatna passed off peacefully yesterday. Thousands of devotees wearing Hanuma Malas went through the streets chanting devotional songs and shlokas. The entire town was beefed up with Police security.
Thousands of people from Mandya, Mysuru and Kodagu had converged into Srirangapatna for the mega event that was launched by Vedic scholar Dr. Bhanuprakash Sharma from Anjaneyaswamy Temple near Nimishamba Temple in Ganjam. The Hanuma maladharis chanted ‘Jai Sri Ram’ and ‘Jai Bajrangbali’ throughout the rally, waving saffron flags.
