On the occasion of 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi (October 2, 2019), in the presence of Lakshmajirao Yesentarao, the Director, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Hyderabad based Mohiniyattam dancer Anita Peter staged 'Mohaname Gandhi' at Shilparamam in Madhapur, early this month.
