Why isn't this music fest season getting wider coverage?

Bangalore's media does not seem to see the music season at this time of the year as something special.

Its Tourism department, fairly proactive in recent times also does not see the possibility of branding this culture that is here for the asking.  Kerala does it very well - it has just planned a Monsoon Raga festival of music in Thiruvananthapuram.

Why isn't Bangalore presented naturally? No answers yet.

Soaking into election mode perhaps - elections to the Karnataka state Assembly are due soon.

The few reports that one gets to read also seem biased. The stories are on the music fest at Chamarajpet, at the Fort School ground, giving people the impression that this is the only music fest at Sri Ramanavami time.

This is in indeed the biggest fest in terms of vintage, concerts and attendance but there are over a dozen bodies, mostly called mandalis that also host music festivals in various parts of Bangalore.

But this aspect of the cultural season does not appear apparent in the media.
