The Sunday shopping frenzy was on along the Sampige Road in Malleswaram. Not far away from the 11th cross is the Vyalikaval extension, a quiet residential locality.
The neighbourhood embraces the music festival hosted during the Ramanavami gently. The trees along the 13th cross road leading to the small but beautiful Rama temple is colourfully lit up for the occasion. The temple and the adjacent hall also reflect the mood with bright decorations.
This Sunday evening, when we walked towards the temple hall, Modumudi Sudhakar from Vijayawada was elaborating Mohana raga. Joined him at the concert were the seniors. Violinist M.S. Govindaswamy, Bangalore's own C. Cheluvaraju on the mridanga and the well known Sukanya Ramgopal on the ghata. It was a sparkling tani avarthana by the percussionists that the hall stayed houseful till the end.
This festival hosted by Vyalikaval Extension Association has only Carnatic music to offer to the rasikas, says B.R. Purushotham, secretary of the association, who mailed the schedule of concerts to us end of March itself.
The upcoming concerts are Prof. Rudrapatnam Ramakantha (April 15), M.S. Vidya (April 16), Abhishek Raghuram (April 17), Prince Rama Varma (April 18), Gayathri Venkataraghavan (April 20)
The fest is on till April 23.
