Rameswaram Sankaramadam making all efforts to promote 'Margazhi bhajans'

Rameswaram Sankaramadam is all in the form to promote the otherwise declining Margazhi bhajans.

This effort to bring back the tradition is welcomed warm-heartedly by all the musicians, who perform musical instruments and bhajans in 4 CarStreet.

The bhajans are traditionally practised to worship the Lord in the early morning of the Tamil month of Margazhi, fasting and singing Thirupavai Thiruvemba.

Speaking to ANI, a pandit said: "This bhajan has been performed since my grandparents days. I've been continuing with the tradition of the Bhajan Mandali."

He further said: "Every year during Dhanu month, we used to perform Bhajans. Earlier we used to do this two-three hour a day but now it shrunk to just one hour."

 

The fast-paced lifestyle has taken a toll on the old tradition.

Despite all this, the traditional bhajan is welcomed by the people of the Rameswaram Sankara monastery and sing traditional songs of the four chariots from 5 am to 6 pm.
