MADURAI: Joy, devotion, celebration and very good participation of women and children marked the Vinayaga Chathurthi festival celebrations at D.R.O.Colony residential quarters in Madurai this year.
For the first time, the residents of this colony put up a hugely attractive Vinayaga idol and organised special events for children and women. The participation was very high in the various events including the ‘kolam’ competition held in the locality from 8 p.m. on August 26th 2017 (Saturday).
BJP local leaders in D.R.O.Colony-K.Pudur area helped in organising the festival in a grand manner for three days from August 25th to 27th.
The idol ‘Sakthi Vinayagar’ stood out as an attraction. Even though this was the first year that the colony residents (government quarters) conducted Vinayaga Chathurthi festival events in public, there was lot of jubilation among the people staying in residential quarters here.
