    All praises to Mr. Ashok Tauro the backbone of Hattu samastaru and the whole team, Unfortunately I could not be a part of the event this year but I am witness to the effort that goes behind creating this event, especially without any personal gains. It is an outcome of unity and the selfless interest of Mr. Ashok Tauro and friends that every year it grows better and humongous. Hats off and may God bless

    A very Nice Yakshagana Mahostava Held By Mr-Ashok (Ashel Travels)& his colleague`s of Jeppu Majila & Barke Friends .Every year They Play This `DEVI MATHAME` Yakshagana in Majila Grounds. Really there is a good Cause behind this Yakshagana every year! Last year they presented a Silver Cradle to Devi Kateel Durgaparmeshwari & this year the funds will be used to help the artist`s financially & on poor children . Really a great job Sir bec now a days there are only few people who support the yakshagana artist`s.But this year has i am abroad i could not attend the function but while seeing the picture of the event in Daiji World i felt that i was there in Majila to attened the function thanks to Bijju Garodi for uploading the snaps .May Devi Durgaparameshweri Bless each and every one who made this function a good success and also i am proud to say that even i was a Ex-staff of Ashel Travels Once again Thanks from my whole heart to Mr- Ashok & Barke Friend`s For ur good work For a good cause !!!

    Organizers of YAKSHAGANA MAHATSAVA did a wonderful job for a very good cause.It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make this show a success. The pictures by Brijesh Garodi of Daiji Media was worth seeing and I give credit for the wonderful job. Though I am seven seas away I felt I was in the procession. The pictures were realistic. It was a good cause to raise funfs for the deserving artists. Good Luck in your next show.
