Mysore/Mysuru: As part of Swami Vivekananda‘s 160th Jayanthi (National Youth Day) celebrations, Team Mysuru Prathistana, in association with Karnataka Exhibition Authority (KEA), had organised a Spot Drawing Competition at Kalinga Rao Ganmantapa in Dasara Exhibition Grounds here  on Sunday.

As many as 131 students took part in the contest where a pencil led sketch of God, drawn by artist Nanjundaswamy, received huge appreciation.
