Here
is clarion call by St. Tyagaraja in Sri Ganapatini (Sowrashtram):
"Having accepted the worship of Brahma, etc. and partaking of the offerings, with the holy feet of Hari firmly installed in his heart, here comes Sri Ganapati with heavy steps resounding with 'gallu, galla' sounds set to dancing many gathis (rhythms). Oh men of devotion ! Adore Him !" This salutation is to the 'Great Remover of Obstacles', Nritya Ganapathi. |

staged during the Season, but due to space restriction, this has not been
possible for the past few years.
The afternoon session is
mostly for talent promotion, when new & upcoming artistes are given
a chance to perform. The evening programme will be ticketed concerts for
the seniors.
