Margazhi Delights: Where Music Meets Flavour

Who said only musicians have concert schedules?

During the music season, it is not just the performances that draw a crowd; the canteens at concert venues are an attraction of their own. The Music Academy, a staple of the season, features its beloved canteen. Meanwhile, in its The Hindu ad for the December 1, 2024 music festival, Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Sabha highlighted its caterer, the renowned Arusuvai Arasu.

With an array of flavours to complement the ragas inside the hall, these caterers are a vital part of the season’s charm. Margazhi isn’t just a treat for the ears—it’s a feast for the taste buds too!

So, which caterer's fare are you most looking forward to savouring this year?

Here is the Margazhi Season Schedule of a caterer who will have his catering stall put up at various concert venues, as published in the special edition of The Hindu dated Dec. 1, 2024 :
