Flavours of Margazhi
- 19 December 2015
Margazhi has broken and the touch and feel of this special season of prayer, music and that chill and mist can be seen in the older neighbourhoods of Chennai.
If you want to soak into it, get to Mylapore in the mornings.
You get to see a few bhajan groups doing the rounds of the mada streets around Sri Kapali Temple.
Among them is the group of musician-composer Dr. Rukmini Ramani.
Rukmini Ramani is carrying on the famous tradition of her father, maestro Papanasam Sivan. Besides his great body of work in classical music and film music, Sivan composed songs dedicated to the gods at the Mylapore temple and undertook the margazhi gosti singing rounds too.
You are welcome to join any group and sing along too.
Many streets present some great kolams and as the sun goes up, the sound of music concerts and musical discourses float from the halls into the streets.
