Thank you. If you have seen the list, could you pls list down a few concerts between 4th April to 17th April as I will be in Bangalore and would like to attend some of these concerts. Only the main artist's name would suffice, if that is not asking for too much :-)

I will keep an eye on Mandali's website. Cheers !

V_vijayasarathy,

when I checked the website and clicked on the READ MORE button under the Programme list, I was very happy to have got the table. Unfortunately, the list is of the year 2008.
Would request you to check once more before you plan your trip. Sorry in advance, if I am wrong.

Yes, i checked that too & was saddened to see the list relates to 2008. If they have printed the list & started distributing it, it would be useful to update the website as well ( for those of us who don't live in Bangalore ). I hope someone from Mandali reads this & acts accordingly.

Thanks to all those who have responded for my query. Really appreciate your mindset to help.

It is a paid concert though I feel season ticket is cheaper. And you only get to sit very far from the dais
for the lower denominations. And some interruption in the begining of the concert for speech of some VIP
swamiji. It is a makeshift auditorium though neat. Overall it is not a great place to sit through both
some +ve and _ve. May be if they use Gayana samaj for concert and fort school for pooja, it will be great.

now we can come over to bangalore and enjoy as it is a dry season (musically) here and also it will be a welcome respite from the heat. What better place than bangalore coupled with the wonderful music...

Dear semmu86,
There is another place where Ramanavami concerts are held. The duration is about 16-18 days.
Venue is Seshadripuram open air grounds. Here also reputed artists perform,but the coverage in Fort HS
is amazing. This venue is near Malleswaram, only 5-6 Km. In fact one can chose between Seshadripuram and Fort Hs depending on th e program.

Tickets can be purchased at the venue.. Rs 50, 100

Season tickets can also be bought, which I guess is priced at Rs. 1000/-

The concert is held at a specially built pandal at the Fort High School Ground.

Are any kind of tickets or passes required for the Seshadripuram concerts ? And the venue is near malleshwaram ? I understand there is a Seshadripuram College in Yellahanka. Slightly misleading.

Dear skutty
No tickets for seshadripuram concerts.It is located in Seshadripuram.Malleswaram is nearby around 3-5 Km depending on where you are located in Malleswaram.

Cienu,
Thank you, Cienu. Hope many rasikas gather to hear him. He is not that well-known in Bengaluru. Hope this concert leads to many engagements in the city.

Suryaprkash,
One when I am there too!
