Padma Shri Musician Cleans Defaced Artwork

A famous musician named Darshanam Mogilaiah, who won a special award called the Padma Shri, was seen in a video cleaning posters and stains from a defaced artwork in Hyderabad.

The artwork featured his own portrait.

People on social media were upset that someone so respected had to clean up the mess.

They are asking the city officials to make rules stricter so that people don't put posters on public property.

The musician plays a special instrument called the kinnera, which is very old and important to his culture.

Many people think the city should take better care of public places.

The state government had honored him by recognizing his talent and providing him space in artworks on flyovers at LB Nagar, Begumpet, and Secunderabad.

Mogilaiah was deeply hurt to see his defaced mural and decided to clean it himself.

The video of him cleaning the artwork went viral on social media, with many netizens criticizing the civic department for neglecting the artworks.
