Evening of young musicians at Chamarajpet

Rama Seva Mandali holds its concerts in the sprawling Fort High School grounds.

The enclosures on all the sides make the ground appear like an indoor auditorium. They also prevent the traffic noise from entering the concert hall. The vehicles are allowed inside the grounds for parking, but the music inside the pandal is not affected.


When we enter the pandal on Monday early evening, Sandeep Narayan is elaborating the main raga Todi. With a stamp of Sanjay Subrahmanyam's voice and style, Sandeep lets the music flow. Yes, a disciple of Sanjay he is! Audience appreciate his gliding Sruti bhedam with a round of applause.

Sandeep ends his concert with a composition in Tamil.

Hosts of students of vidwan R.K. Padmanabha enter the auditorium. Also the senior accompanists, violinist S. Hemalatha, mridangam vidwan C. Cheluvaraju and ghatam vidushi Sukanya Ramgopal.


Bangalore's popular duo S.R. Vinay and K.V. Krishnaprasad are going to be in the  main concert.
Both are disciples of the senior vocalist - guru R.K. Padmanabha. Guests keep coming in and occupying the front seats at the pandal.

Bright and strong voices of the young vocalists fill the auditorium and the percussionists enliven up the concert with their trademark sparklers!
