The Largest Tambura
Eleven feet long, this one weighs 150 kg. The world’s
largest tambura was inaugurated in Bangalore by artiste Shyamala
G. Bhave. This tambura is made out of a single log of a rain-tree.
Art works on famous Mysore Dasara are depicted on the giant
tambura. It has also pictures of Goddesses Lakshmi and Saraswathi.
It is full of national symbols such as peacock, lotus, banyan
tree and the like. Significantly, the initial line from Saint
Thyagaraja’s pancharatna ‘Endaro Mahanubhavulu…’
is etched around the tambura.

The Business
of Music
How to begin the day? Each one has a different way of commencing
the day. Music World, a music and home video retail chain from
the RPG Group, has a unique style of starting the day. According
to K. Dasaratharaman, President (Specialty Retail), Spencer’s
Retail Ltd. (which owns Music World), Music World stores in
Tamil Nadu plays Suprabatham before kick-starting the day’s
business. `` In North, probably they (stores) begin with a bhajan,’’
he says. Depending on their locations, these stores start with
region-specific auspicious music. Well, music is not just about
bringing peace to the mind. It is also about bringing order
to the business, it seems!
