Final concert at Jayanagar; scenes and sights

I


It was the last concert of the season for Sri Jayarama Seva Mandali in Jayanagar on Saturday evening. And the first floor hall was overflowing with rasikas.

The Mysore Brothers, the violinists who had a record attendance in Chamarajpet were to perform here. With H S Sudhindra and Arjun Kumar on the mridangam. The brothers carry their own audio gear but having clipped it into the local system, posed some hiccups and the first song went for a toss.

Many venues are not made for music or talks. And it certainly calls for hosts to work on getting the right systems in place for great music. But with keener rasikas around, the systems have got better over the years.

Sunday morning here was reserved for Sri Rama pattabhishekam, with the procession event in the evening and Monday morning was for the Sri Hanuman procession.


In the kitchen downstairs here on Saturday night, cooks were busy cutting vegetables for the Sunday feast, when a few hundred guests were expected.
