    Excellent showing youths talent. But our society must discourage holding sword and some very dangerous play. Please do not support this type of play. At least Future generation come out of this type of play. There are so many good games . Let us make use of it. Using sword and fire play we can not say talent. Let us avoid in future GANESH UTSAV. Thank You
