The main auditorium on East Mada Street, Mylapore was packed as the curtain went up for the formal launch - after nadaswaram maestro Seshampatti Sivalingam and his group had treated rasikas to a house-long concert.
Artistes Vishaka Hari and Gayatri Venkataraghavan were decorated with 'lifetime achievement' awards by the guest of the day - Infosys chairman, R. Seshasayee.
The first recital of this fest was a Harikatha recital by Vishaka Hari; she performed to a full house.
