Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan expressed grief and sadness over the passing away of Indian Red Cross Society, A.P. State Branch Honorary Chairman P. Venugopal in Visakhapatnam on Friday. The Governor said Dr. Venugopal served as Professor of Paediatrics at King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam and rendered immense services to the needy people as Honorary Chairman of IRCS, and his passing away was an irreparable loss to the cause of Indian Red Cross Society activities in Visakhapatnam. The Governor offered his condolences to members of the bereaved family.
Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
