Kanyakumari rewinds to 70s

Senior violinist A Kanyakumari was fighting the sultriness of the backstage room for artistes when we met her at the opening of the fest of Sree Ramaseva Mandali, Chamarajpet. She was to perform along with Kadri Gopalnath this evening.

She said she had first performed here in the 70s.
"Those were times when I performed for MLV... they used to have thatched pandal... but the crowd would be huge... bigger than what we get today. Artistes like MLV, MS ... used to draw big crowds".
