From coastal Karnataka to coastal Mylapore

Every year, we host a troupe from outside.
This year a Yakshagana team led by the well known Shivananda Hegde from north coastal Karnatak will be here.

Ten artistes and musicians make this troupe. They present two back-to-back productions on the main stage and in the open air. Should be a treat to watch; more for those who have not watches a Yakshagana recital.

Hegde isn't new to this city. He has performed at many Chennai venues.

Our friends will lodge at what has become the pad for travelling artistes - Hotel Karpagam on South Mada Street. Fully renovated it has a charm of its own and is a favourite destination for musicians and rasikas here for the December season.
