Music I admire 06: Residing in Mylapore reverberating with the sound of music (“san-gItamE muzhangum tirumayilApuri uraiyum”)

Mylapore, Marghazhi, music … a trifecta that for Carnatic music aficionados embodies the adage carved in the Divan-e-khas of the Red Fort .... “agar firdaus bar roo-e-zameen ast, hameen ast, hameen ast, O hameen ast!” (“If there is a heaven on the face of the earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!”). The three are so intertwined that Papanasam Sivan refers to the presiding deity of Mylapore - Siva as Kapalisvara - as he who resides in Mylapore, which reverberates with the sound of music.
