For South Indians (maybe Tamil?) it’s the opposite. Margazhi month are least likely to have weddings so weddings get done by early Dec.

So many people - mostly Brahmins, incl. some of my family - come to Chennai from all over the world for Margazhi season. They take morning baths, eat "pure veg" breakfast, then go unmasked to crowded sabhas, cough all over each other, go home then repeat for an entire month. Purity? Hygiene? Please.

If you appreciate #dance choreography of any kind, here is an arresting #Bharatanatyam performance of "swaagataM kRshNa" (swaagatam Krishna, Welcome Krishna) by 7-10 year olds:

How Sandeep Narayan’s concert transcended sonic and lyrical boundaries-OxBig News Network
Sandeep Narayan, S. Krishna, Akshay Yesodharan, and Lalit Talluri performing at Spaces in Chennai Can Carnatic music evolve while preserving its essence? ‘Spirits of Margazhi’ answered with a resounding ‘yes’ at its first live concert at Spaces in Besant Nagar recently. Founded by Priya Murali, the ensemble bridges the old and the new, inviting listeners into a world where tradition is not rigid but fluid. The concert chose to move in the unhurried grace of chouka kalam, letting every note unfurl in fullness. Tyagaraja’s timeless compositions found kinship with the dohas of Kabir, the bhakti-laden verses of Tulsidas, the comforting rhythm of Arunagirinathar’s Tirupuggazh and the compositions of Muralidhara Swamigal.

I was about to type this as a reply when I saw your post. Mid-December to mid-January, the Tamil month of Margazhi is considered inauspicious, so we don't have weddings or other 'auspicious' stuff like housewarming ceremonies. Same in the Tamil month of Aadi (mid-July to mid-August).

A very happy 75th Republic Day to one and all.

Is India even a republic anymore, one might ask. It is certainly not the republic it was eleven years ago. Anyhow, here's hoping it will some day become one again.

Athriya began her recital with a pushpanjali in raga Srotaswini, set to Adi tala, a composition by Madurai R. Muralidaran.

The copyright conundrum in Carnatic music-OxBig News Network
Musician V. Sankarnarayanan performs at the Sri Parthasarthy Swamy Sabha in Chennai. | Photo Credit: The Hindu During the recent Margazhi season or music season in Chennai, rasikas (connoisseurs) hopped from concert to concert. While tuning into the music, they also had to keep in mind copyright law as the sabhas (performance venues) forbade them from unauthorised recording. Copyright law has seldom been at the forefront of discussion in the Carnatic music sphere as there is a general belief that copyright law does not apply to it. We need to revisit this view.
