A raging cyclone is crossing the Indian peninsula causing
havoc and rain but that is no reason to miss a visit to the world’s only city
with a season dedicated to music and dance. The Margazhi
festival of Chennai
in southern India
is a unique opportunity to fill your holiday with an enchanting glimpse in to
the rich culture,
tradition and food of India .
Margazhi is a month in the Indian Tamil calendar covering
December and January. But it is getting to be more associated with the unique
carnatic music and dance festival being held in the city of Chennai
since decades and evoke nostalgic and romantic feeling in many people, especially
among the expatriates who wait for a whole year, yearning for an annual visit.
The best thing about the Margazhi festival is
that each day is filled with many musical and dance events
in several venues till late night most of which are absolute free with no
tickets or entrance fees. The festival aims to promote talent and give an
opportunity for the artists to perform in public attracting both professional
and amateur practitioners of the arts from around the world.
If you are after a relaxing and fulfilling holiday, it is
indeed great fun to hop in and listen to some invigorating music in the mid
morning, spend some time on the beach or enjoy some really ethnic food, do some
browsing or shopping for exotic jewellery or clothing in the afternoon and then
return for more enjoyment of some exhilarating dance in the evening. You can do
all of these in any order you like for several days non-stop if you wish.
The festival is in fact an amazing panorama of true Indian
culture you can only remotely sense in the hype of “Incredible India”. The
artistic intensity of vocal Carnatic and Hindustani music, exotic instruments
and solo performances, and riveting dance performances by lone exponents and
groups will leave indelible tracks on your memories to take home, unlike a
normal holiday you will soon forget about.
What makes it even more interesting is the availability of
really ethnic food at many venues during the season, which is normally served
only in private homely functions,
thanks to the month of Margazhi, considered inauspicious for
marriages and other functions. For connoisseurs, this wonderful treat for the
palette is an added attraction of the festival pampering all of your senses.
If you seriously want a rejuvenating break and don’t know
how to get that well deserved tranquilising change away from your world, then
Margazhi in Chennai may be what you may be looking for.
