Chidambaram dates; Feb,.27 and 28. March 1 to 3

The dates for the Natyanjali 2014 at Chidambaram are - Feb.27 and 28 and March 1 to 3.
Five days of dance, dance and dance!

On Day 1, Feb.27 dances start at about 6 p.m. and go on till about 4 a.m. the next day. Dances go on as pilgrims and devotees file into the temple to pray and meditate and stay awake for Sivaratri.

On other days dances start at 6 pm and end by midnight.

This is a crowded evening. But the crowd for the dances gets big on the weekend.
Admission is free and the dances take place in the outer prakara on the east side of the temple.

Welcome to Natyanjali 2014

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Natyanjali Dance Festivals. For 2014.
Festivals - we term it so because dance festivals at Sivaratri time are now held in many leading temples.

From Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur to Pondicherry and Tiruchi.

But to make our coverage focussed and sharp and to make so with sparse resources we at KutcheriBuzz base ourselves in Chidambaram and report from this wonderful place.

Our 2014 has just begun and from now on, we will slowly step up our posts of news and info.

We invite you to also join us in this - how can you? Share info on your tour, your pictures and buzz. Join us at the KutcheriBuzz Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/kutcheribuzz

We intend to be super active on FB and on this Blog on all 5 days of the Fest at Chidambaram. So do join us now!
