he role of the arts in creating a conducive ambience for the spiritual pursuit has always been

central in this culture. t is not accidental that the most powerfully consecrated temples were

also vibrant centers of dance and music. he exquisite garbha griha or the sanctum sanctorum of the temple

was often complimented by exuberant ranga mandirs or performance spaces within the temple complexes.

t is in this tradition that AA a sevenday music and dance festival is celebrated

at sha oga Center in the week preceding ahashivarathri. ach evening at dusk the sprawling premises

of the Dhyanalinga and inga Bhairavi emples play host to some of the foremost performing talents in the country.

hese openair performances set in the foothills of the prist ine elliangiri ountains

the spiritual ambience of the intensely consecrated space and the presence of a iving aster

often overwhelms the artists themselves…
