In tune with the Chidambaram Natyanjali Festival which has helped revive interest in the classical arts among the commoners and also for decentralising cultural activities, a Natyanjali fest is also being organised for the past three years at Nagapattinam (Sri Neelayadakshi Amman Koil) and Tiruvarur (Sri Thyagesar Koil) in south India. The tremendous public response has been extremely satisfying.
This year, Kumbakonam gets into the groove with a two day Natyanjali Festival at the Kumbheswara Swami Koil on 12th and 13th March. Next year, the Prince of Thanjavur is planning to organise a Natyanjali at the Brihadiswarar Koil, Thanjavur.
