Hundreds of transgenders will converge here for a four-day "Surya Suta Mahotsava" to highlight the poor condition of the Yamuna river.

The convention of the Kinnar Akhada, from March 7 to 10, will focus on the agony of the river, Acharya Laxmi Narain Tripathi of the Kinnar Akhada said.

"The condition of the Yamuna is pathetic. We need to sensitize local people and pressure official agencies to do something.

"We cannot let the river die. It's one of the holiest rivers of the country," he said.

A number of politicians, celebrities and religious leaders will address the convention.
