Hoysala Sculpture in Halebid

Up front this time, there are reports on the efforts of a youth organisation to promote classical music (5-6), a yagna conducted by Carnatic musicians (7) and dance festivals held in Madras, Bangalore and New Delhi (9-11). There is a note on the Colours of a Raga (8) by Manirangu which should provoke discussion and a special—although belated—report on a Seminar on Thumri, with accompanying articles of interest (13-16). Topping these are extracts from a lecture on the Ramayana in Carnatic Music (17-18).
