Programmes, pujas mark 100th day of Raj’s death
The 100th day of demise of Kannada matinee idol Rajkumar was marked on Thursday by cultural programmes and pujas in his memory. The Rajkumar family visited the samadhi, a site to which the flow of visitors has reduced. Yethiraj, one of the four people who have been offering services at the Kanteerava Studio complex is coming out with a book on Tuesday titled Abhimanigala Devaru, Samadhi Degulavada Charitrae.
The book will contain his experiences at the burial site over the last three months, he said. Lalitha Hemanth Kumar said her main job was to clear the flowers that might stain the white granite memorial at the burial spot. A number of portraits and photographs adorn the burial site, while the life-size picture of the departed actor that went missing recently, is yet to be retrieved.
An association from Gandhinagar performed annadana to mark the programme. A 12-hour cultural programme kicked off at 9 am at the Town Hall, featuring seminars and cultural programmes, including an orchestra. Several Kannada movie stars turned up at the Dr Raj Athmiya Balaga programme held on the occasion.
The Bangalore Parisara Vedike also celebrated World Environment Day in memory of the actor, who died on April 12, 2006.
