more-inIn the city about 1200 Ganesh pandals have been erected, but this one at Lakshmi Narayanapuram in Thatchetlapalem stands out, for its unique theme. Set-up by Peela Hariprasad of Yuva Seva Foundation, this year the theme is blood donation. This year, he has chosen the theme of blood donation and has designed a tech-savvy lord Ganesha who has a WhatsApp group by name ‘Ganesh blood donor group’. My idea was to create an awareness campaign by demystifying the myths surrounding blood donation,” said Mr. Hariprasad, founder of Yuva Seva. The tech-savvy Ganesha will be immersed in the sea on Sunday, and Mr. Hariprasad will be organising a live blood donation camp at the pandal.
