Hyderabad: Amid tight security, Sri Ramanavami Shobha Yatra organized by MLA T Raja Singh started from Akashpuri in Dhoolpet here on Friday.
A large number of people from different parts of the city and its suburbs thronged Dhooplet to take part in the yatra. Clad in saffron attire, the youngsters raised Jai Shri Ram slogans during the yatra.
The lanes and bylanes of the yatra route wore a festival atmosphere as organizers decorated them with saffron flags and bunting. The major attraction of the yatra was idols of Lord Sri Rama, Sri Hanuman and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
