Bhau Ka Garba draws crowds at Mul; actress Prarthana Behere attends

A dandiya festival, 'Bhau Ka Garba', was held in Mul on the occasion of Navratri. It was organised by the late Changunabai Sachchidanand Mungantiwar Seva Samiti. Residents of Mul enjoyed themselves to the beat of the garba, and the whole atmosphere was steeped in the spirit and cultural colours of Navratri.

MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar was present at the event. Actress Prarthana Behere was welcomed on behalf of the residents of Mul. Mungantiwar welcomed her to the land of tigers. He extended Navratri greetings to the residents of Mul and congratulated the organisers on the fine event.

Mungantiwar said he felt happy seeing the smiles on the faces of Mul's residents and the contentment in their hearts. He appealed to people to use Navratri to resolve to honour women and to give every girl a safe environment.

MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar said Mul is the land of the great former chief minister, the honourable Sahib Kannamwar. He said the land has inherited a historic and cultural legacy. He said Chandrapur district's contribution among the districts that donated gold for the country during the India-China war was a matter of pride. According to him, devotion to the nation, social responsibility and respect for cultural traditions define this land.

He said Navratri is not merely a religious festival. It is a sacred occasion that, along with the worship of Shakti, inspires respect for women. He said a family, society and nation progress only through respect for women, so everyone should take a pledge this Navratri to respect women. He said women are a strong foundation of social progress, and giving them respect and equal opportunities is the need of the hour. Mungantiwar said respect for women should not be limited to words but should show in our actions as well.

The 'Bhau Ka Garba' festival gave fresh lustre to Mul's cultural tradition. The event offered a fine blend of the enthusiasm of garba, the joy of Navratri and the message of respect for women.

Actress Prarthana Behere thanked Sudhirbhau for giving her the chance to come to Mul and meet everyone. She said it was her first visit to Mul. She said that when she went to Bhau's home, he welcomed her with great affection and warmth. According to Behere, Sudhirbhau has deep knowledge of many subjects and there is much to learn from him.

Behere also said that in today's times girls should step out of their homes fearlessly and move towards their dreams with full confidence. She said ensuring the safety of girls is the shared responsibility of the whole society, not of any one person. She expressed the view that giving girls a safe environment and instilling confidence in them is everyone's duty in society.
