Gonikoppal, Feb. 23: As part of the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Hindu Sangam was held in Kanur in South Kodagu with great success. Thousands of people gathered in the grand procession of the Hindu Sangam program organized by the Kanur Mandal Hindu Sangam Organizing Committee.
As part of the program, saffron flags and buntings were flying in Kanur. Welcome arches were built on both sides of the main road, creating a festive atmosphere in the town. The procession started from near the road of the city's primary school ground in the morning. The grand procession added cultural splendor with traditional dances of the Valaga and tribal communities. The procession passed through the main road and then concluded at the premises of the Amrita Mahotsav Hall of Kanur Pax.
Speaking as the chief guest, former Sainik Sangha district president Kottukatthira Somanna said that the Hindu Sangam program is being held across the country to create unity among Hindus. Caste and religion should be set aside and the feeling that we are all Hindus and one should be instilled in every Indian. We should maintain our unity. We should not limit ourselves to caste and do our work, he called for. Gangadhar of the Go Rakshana Samiti of Mangaluru, who arrived as the keynote speaker, said that Sangh branches are running in every corner of India. Hindus in India are worshippers of nature. Awareness should be created about respecting elders. India is a country that gives respect to everyone. The basic purpose of the RSS organization is to awaken Hindus. India has the credit of giving the world great scientists. We should all walk on the path of religion. Parents are the real God and we should respect them, he called for.
Retired police officer Ganesh and coffee farmer Cheppudira Naveen Ayyappa were on the stage.
