Unhurried Walks: June 2014
Lalbagh Walk
Rolling out the red carpet: An unhurried walk in the urban haven of Lalbagh.
Bangalore's most popular tourist destination, Lalbagh, is often thought of as a large boring park, which it may seem. Walk with us to discover the treasure that is Lalbagh, as we take you through the sand, stone and waters of Lalbagh, our Tipu Sultan's pleasure paradise!
Commissioned by Hyder Ali and completed by Tipu Sultan, Lalbagh was the ruler's personal garden, a statement of power and extravagance. Around one of Kempe Gowda's towers, Lalbagh has since acquired a large range of horticultural samples, a beautiful glass house and India's first lawn-clock. Today, it is not just a botanical garden but is also one of the few green spaces left in the increasingly polluted 'garden city'.
Join us as we step into pockets of silence and bloom right within the corporate jungle that is Bangalore. Listen to stories from the past, myths associated with the park and personal anecdotes that help understand Lalbagh better.
For paricipation, visit our website or email us at reachus@unhurried.in
Since the capture of
Bangalore from the unwavering clutches of Tipu Sultan, several British
families have made Bangalore their home. The flourishing cantonment
north of the beautiful Cubbon Park was almost British in its making:
wide roads lined by trees, locally brewed foreign alcohol, the early
entry of cars and the Bungalows they were parked in. With wide garden
space around the house, built in typical British grandeur, tall roofs to
allow air to come in, the now slowly disappearing old Bungalows of the
city tell the tales of the needs, preferences and culture of the time.
Soaking in the old world charm of Richards Town, catch a breath of fresh air and some snippets of local history in the verdant Richards Park. Also to see are a few pretty yesteryear villas and local churches in the idyllic settings of aPaulogy, a unique gallery that takes viewers back to Bangalore of the 70s.

Meera-Andal - Lecture-Demonstration
Ananya cordially invites you to Meera- Andal - a Lecture-Demonstration
by Smt. Laxmi Sreeram, Chennai.
One lived in the 8th century, the other in the 16th. One was brought up by a priest, the other married to a prince. One sang in chaste high flown Tamil with literary devices from the hoary Sangam literature at her disposal. The other sang songs in an earthy Rajasthani. Both were besotted with a divine lover - Krishna.
As much as Andal and Meera seem to be alike, they are very different voices. Weaving songs of these two passionate women with short bits of narrative, Lakshmi Sreeram seeks to offer a glimpse of their love and pain. The songs will be rendered in the idioms of carnatic and hindustani music.

Mohiniyattam by Rekha Raju
Can you visualise dance without vocal music? Doesn’t
literature enhance the lyrical quintessence in dance? Aren’t lyrics the
lifeline for dancers to take cue for their abhinaya? A
Mohiniyattam performance by Dr. Rekha Raju of the Ananya Cultural
Academy titled ‘Laya Lasya without the support of vocals’ is an example
of the latest experimentation for connecting with the audience.
The performance attempts to buck the established trend that vocal music is the dancer’s only guide.
“Don’t
we listen to instrumental music, or enjoy the birds chirping in melody?
Are there any lyrics there?” says R.V. Raghavendra of the Ananya
Cultural Academy. Audiences welcomed danseuse Priyadarshini Govind’s
experimentation when she set her expressive stance to T.M. Krishna’s
vocals without any other musical support, says Mr. Raghavendra.
“We
also had the renowned Dhananjayans dance purely to Mahesh Swamy’s flute
in our ‘Bhava Sankramana’ programme ,” he says. Dr. Raju, a student of
Prof. Janardhanan of Kalakshetra, seems excited about the
experimentation. “My experimental conceptualisation would be completely
on the evolution of music where I would take up Mohiniyattam from sarlivarse onwards to a pancharatna kriti, tillana and devaranama,” she says.
