As the beaches of God’s Own Country prepare to welcome the auspicious month of Navarathri, the lights sparkle brightest at the historic Navarathri Mandapam at the Fort Palace complex in Thiruvananthapuram. It holds the famed Navarathri Music Festival every year, a nine- day music fiesta where fans may see some of the classical music industry’s titans. The magnificent kritis (compositions) of Swathi Thirunal, famed composer and erstwhile monarch of Travancore, are the key highlights. The venue’s acoustics are likewise highly regarded. Earthen pots of various shapes and sizes are suspended from the ceiling by coir ropes. Their mouths towards the ground operate as ideal sound reflectors, ensuring that echoes do not degrade the overall audio quality. Oil lamps illuminate the stage and shine brightly on the acts.
