Saffron flags have surfaced in the by-lanes and atop illuminated housing societies and individual houses.
Lord Rama bhakts took out bike rallies on Sunday. The participants in traditional attire and saffron pagdis raised ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans, including in Kukatpally and Patancheru. To make it an apolitical rally, the participants ensured that there was no party symbol or picture of any politician on the bikes.
