Hop into Seshadripuram!

8 p.m. and three songs of Unnikrishnan at the Fort later, we drive down to Seshadripuram this evening. 
Sisters Gayathri and Ranjani are in concert here.

And the house is full.


One can see that the hosts make a lot of effort to cultivate the local rasika community. And it pays. In Bangalore, distances do not encourage rasikas to do the sabha-hop exercise. They prefer the neighborhood stage. 

And here is Seshadripuram, the community looks strong. And with this patronage comes better stage decor, lighting and listening pleasure.

The Seshadripuram fest is a good example of a neighbourhood celebrating music that way it prefers it.
