For all those who missed many Yakshagana shows of this season because the city’s town hall is under renovation, here is a feast of the art for seven days from Tuesday.
A Yakshagana sapthaha will begin at Manjunatha temple at Kadri. The seven-day programme will feature both Yakshagana performance and talamaddale. It would end on October 12.
Sarayu Bala Yakshavrunda Makkala Mela, Kodical, the host of the sapthaha, would organise it from 5 pm to 10 pm on those days.
