Legendy jokers Laurel & Hardy at Four Mada street

Tirumala, October 10: The devotional platform at the four Mada street came alive with the folk and legendary characters – Laurel and Hardy, the magical knife thrower and the wooden horse rider and folk artists dancing to rhythm of drums.

The team of artists hailing from a remote village of Palamaner mandal in Chittoor district enthralled the devotees at the Vahanam galleries of the Mada street during the Hanumantha Vahanam on Thursday morning. The artists strolled on the cement floor of the Mada street on their high elevated wooden legs and enthralled the devotees with their jibes, funny stints and humorous acts.

‘We are hereditary artists performing at all social and religious events ‘said a spokesman of the folk artists team and said the TTD has been supporting them and providing programs for them.
