On Sunday evening, vocalist Amrutha Venlatesh is on stage - H M Smitha on violin and Tumkur Ravishankar on mridangam.
People visit the mandir at the street level, some make contributions at the mandali's office and then walk up to the concert space on the first floor.
For this quiet colony of the sprawling and ever-busy neighborhood, you would expect the concert attendance to be bigger. Perhaps 200 to 250 people.
The donors though are many. At this time of the year, the 'sevakarthas' support the religious as well as the arts. Their names are featured in the programme brochures and on stage.
This evening's funder is Percussive Arts Centre promoted by mridangist and engineering teacher V. Krishna.
One assumes this year's support has been good - many artistes from Chennai are featured here.
