Sunday Laksharchana, and then a concert by Neyveli Santhanagopalan

Sunday was just the right time to hold a Laksharchana for the community at the Sree Seshadripuram Ramasree Samithi as the fag end of the annual music concerts it hosts for Sri Ramanavami unfolds.

This took place under a large shamiana that had been raised in the open centre court of this well known school/college. Following the elaborate rituals, a Harikatha by Sosale Suresh was held. By the time this and the distribution of prasadam - given in generous packs to all members - was over it was past 2 p.m.

The Sunday evening concert featured Neyveli Santhanagopalan, with Chennai-based M. Narmadha on violin, Jayachandra Rao on mridangam and Giridhar Udupa on ghatam. Over 400 rasikas were in attendance.

Since the Samithi had to hold over two concerts since polling was held at this campus on April 17, the two concerts held over will be on April 28 and 29. Mambalam Sisters on Monday and R. K. Padmanabha on Tueday.

These two concerts will bring the curtain down on the music festival here.
