This Wednesday evening was also a time for the Seshadripuram Seva Samithi to launch its festival.
It kept to tradition. "It is the Tamil Nadu tradition that we follow," said secretary Tarakaram even as nagaswaram vidwan V. Murali, a resident of Sripuram and his artistes played the last song of the concert.
There was a threat of rain and the Tarakaram family chose to make an offering to appeal to lord Varuna to hold the rain till the end of the month. This college quadrangle does not have a roof facility.
The attendance this evening was small; some 100-plus people, with art critic Mysore V. Subramanya inaugurating the fest.
Ms. Tarakaram appealed to the two dozen rasikas who sat till the end of the nagaswaram concert to spread the word about the music fest. And when she looked up, the rains came down.
Bangalore had its first, good spell of light rain; the daytime temperature hovers around 35 degrees.
