While we look for events to celebrate Kojagiri Purnima every year, this year there is a surprise: you can celebrate Kojagiri Purnima at the civic parks in Pune, as the Pune Municipal Administration has decided to keep the parks open until midnight on the occasion of Kojagiri Purnima.
The civic body has decided to keep its 211 public gardens open until midnight.
Ashok Ghorpade, the head of the PMC's garden department, has announced that many residents enjoy visiting the city’s gardens on Kojagiri Purnima to celebrate under the full moon. Therefore, like every year, we will keep the public gardens open until midnight, he added.
He also appealed to Punekars to keep the gardens in the city clean.
