A series of programmes have been organised at Srinagar Colony (South ) in Hanamkonda marking the silver jubilee celebrations of Ganapati Navaratri festival.
A group of differently-abled youth under the aegis of The Challenge Dream Dance Group led by Santhosh Kumar Gandham performed at the Ganesh pandal.
