IT is a powerful message of communal harmony from this small village in North Karnataka. Muslim youth in Sandigavad village of Ron taluk from Gadag district have installed a Ganesha idol and performed puja for the last four days.

To top it, these youth recite Ganesha stotras without referring to any book or text. They have been celebrating Ganesha Chaturthi for the last three years, by placing the idol at an Ashoor Khana (a Muslim religious site) to promote communal harmony.
