As we utter the words "Margazhi Maha Utsavam," a plethora of vibrant images floods our minds engaging classical music concerts, captivating Bharatanatyam performances, enthralling dramas, the delectable fare at Sabhas, the artistry of early morning Kolams, the ethereal narratives spun by spiritual storytellers, and the awakening to the melodic resonance of temple bells. How often have we, the youth, engaged in spirited discussions about the Margazhi Maha Utsavam with our peers? While the currents of Western culture have subtly influenced our recent times, it's imperative that we remain connected to our cultural roots.
In this article, let's delve deeper into the cultural tapestry of Margazhi Maha Utsavam through the discerning eyes and melodic notes of the passionate singer, Saindhavi Prakash, as she unveils the enchanting magic of classical music during this festival.
Can you share your personal journey of discovering the magic of classical music, particularly during Margazhi Maha Utsavam?
In our typical Tambrahm home, classical music, featuring M S Subbulakshmi Amma and the Soolamangalam sisters, set the daily soundtrack from a young age. My singing journey began at five, though formal training started later. Margazhi brings memories of Kacheri performances and Sabha-hopping discussions with friends and co-singers. Conversations focused on which concert to attend, creating cherished childhood moments.
What sparked your interest in classical music, and how did Margazhi Maha Utsavam play a role in this discovery?
