The 'season' starts in November but free concerts see walk-ins, walk-outs

If there is a truly 'Season for Mylapore' kind of festival, then it is the one hosted by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
It started early - this year on Nov.18, Sunday morning with violin guru Prof T N Krishnan and daughter Viji performing and Sudha Ragunathan singing that evening.

It also has some of the well known artistes featured.
And it is free.
And it often gets a full house.

So rasikas who reside in the heart of Mylapore don't miss this festival - often, the overflow for a well known artiste's concert forces Bhavans to telecast it in its lobby and place chairs here.


The only 'nuisance' at the fest is of people who stroll in and stroll out midway through concerts, a kind of stopover between visits to the temple and the street market!
