The members of Stuthi Vahini are involved in
many events spread over the year. While some of
them are calendared, others are on invitation by
organizations engaged in socio-cultural
activities. Even in those regular events, the
Stuthi Vahini takes effort to bring about
certain freshness and novelty that the listeners
rarely find the renderings repetitive.
A few important ones are listed here.
• Second Sunday of every month: Music at
Sri
Prasanna VeerAnjaneya temple, Mahalakshmi Layout
• Second Thursday of every month: Renderings at
Sai Mandir, Malleswaram
Following the Indian Calendar of festivals, the
following events take place either on invitation
or by the initiatives of the Stuthi Vahini team.
The period or the places identified are only
indicators. Organizations or individuals wishing
to have the services of Stuthi Vahini may
contact the group for any festival or
celebrations of spiritual/ religious flavor.
