Agra, Oct 4(ANI): Devout Hindus in India's Agra city on Wednesday participated in a three-day colorful procession to honor Lord Rama, as children got dressed in mythological characters of the epic, 'Ramayana'. Security has been beefed up in the city, as roughly one million people enthusiastically participated in the procession every year. People thronged the venue, which was decorated with sparkling lights and colourful buntings. Devotees were seen praying before the children dressed in mythological charters of Ramayana, carrying offerings and earthen-lit lamps that created a peaceful ambiance.
