Capturing the spirit of Tiruvaiyaru

I read a report in The Hindu and also Sruti magazine about the 3 concerts at legendary venues of Tiruvaiyaru - Pushya Mandap, Panchanadeeswara temple and a Rajah college quadrangle. It was called "Tiruvaiyaru on Kaveri - a festival of sacred music".

What a laudable venture! Just reading about it and looking at the serene pictures of Bombay Jayashri in concert against the backdrop of the ancient temple was a hair-raising experience. The cool breeze of the night, the inspiring backdrop of the temple, the presence of music trinity in spirit (the very place they had once touched with their feet) and the soulful music of Jayashree...Wish I had been there.
