Today is a big day at Sree Ramaseva Mandali. Not just the inauguration of the music festival of the year but a celebration of a landmark year too.
It has been a long journey since 1939, for this Mandali that hosts its festival at the special pandal put up at the Govt. Juinor college, Fort High School grounds in Chamarajapet.
Founded by Late S.V. Narayanaswamy Rao, the mandali takes pride that this is perhaps the only organisation to have been inaugurated by three Indian presidents and a Governor General of India, C. Rajagopalachari, well known as Rajaji.
The mandali also remembers Rajaji who earlier advised to have the Sri Ramanavami festival in the open.
Sri Ramaseva Mandali hosts the longest festival beginning on the Ugadi day every year that runs for more than a month. This year the concerts go on till May 16.
Religious discourses draw a big audience in the mornings every day at this pandal. The main evening concerts are ticketed. The season tickets get sold out a month in advance. A few daily tickets are available at the counters though.
The festival begins with a Nadaswaram recital by Kasim and Babu at 4 p.m. today, followed by a mandolin duet concert by U. Srinivas and U. Rajesh at 6.45 p.m.
The chief guests of the occasion are the governors of two states. Hon. Governor of Karnataka H.R. Bharadwaj and Hon. Governor of Andhra Pradesh E.S.L. Narasimhan.
Ramapriya - an Internet Radio is also launched today.
Concerts schedules are at www.concertatmandali.com
