I have now got an opportunity to participate in this festival, which is celebrated by everyone together without any discrimination and in the Shobha Yatra, where lakhs of devotees gather. I too am eager to dance in front of the DJ," said Prajwal Devaraj while talking to the media. He also offered prayers for farmers and expressed hope for timely rainfall and good crops.
