Subject: Carnatic Music Festival 


Dear Friends, 
Carnatic Music Festival 2006, New York
The Carnatic Music Festival in New York is just 4 weeks away - on April 29th 
(Sat) and 30th (Sun).

This will be the very first time in NYC featuring over 12 artists presenting 
carnatic music with violin, flute, veena, mridangam, konnakol, ghatam, kanjira, 
ghethu and morsing.

IMPORTANT: The concert hall has a very limited seating capacity. Therefore, 
please purchase your tickets WELL IN ADVANCE. The tickets are available online 
at: www.ragachitra.org.

This may be a perfect occasion for you to visit the spectacular Divya-Dham 
Mandir (the Festival location), a very unique Hindu temple where 1,008 Shiva 
Lingas have been installed. The temple also enshrines beautiful, life-size 
idols of various Hindu deities including an immense 20-ton Shiva Linga and a 
gigantic Trimurthi of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva which are only found in ancient 
temples of India. The Vaishno Devi cave and the murthis of goddesses 
representing the 51 Shakti Peethas (seats of the Hindu order) are exclusive to 
this beautiful temple. You may also perform Shiva Linga Abhishekam by yourself 
at the mandir.

Yes, the Festival will be a truly memorable, one-of-a-kind occasion for the 
Carnatic Music Lovers!

Come. Listen to authentic carnatic music with full accompaniments!
