central in this culture. t is not accidental that the most powerfully consecrated temples were
also vibrant centers of dance and music. he exquisitegarbha griha or the sanctum sanctorum of the temple
was often complimented by exuberant ranga mandirs or performance spaces within the temple complexes.
t is in this tradition that AA a sevenday music and dance festival is celebrated
at sha oga Center in the week preceding ahashivarathri. ach evening at dusk the sprawling premises
of the Dhyanalinga and inga Bhairavi emples play host to some of the foremost performing talents in the country.
