Vyalikaval is most appealing

The Vyalikaval space for God and Music is most appealing among all of Bengaluru's Sri Ramanavami spaces for a few reasons.

The streets are spic and span, the street leading to the venue is illuminated, the temple premises is neat and welcoming and the small auditorium is good for soulful music.

And yet, the current music fest attracts 30, or a maximum of 50 people. Most sit through the concert.

We are told that the changing dynamics of this old neighborhood, now home to many north Indians reflects on the patronage at the concerts.
