R.R. Sabha (Rasika Ranjani Sabha) was founded in 1929 in
Chennai. When T.L. Venkatraman Iyer organised Dikshitar day celebration
in RR Sabha in 1945, food was served to the audience! ('Mired in controversy' by Suganthy Krishnamachari, The Hindu, Nov 30, 2012) |
On Saraswathi puja, the RR Sabha would organise a dance programme, and
members would be given a bag of freebies, containing a small sachet of
TSR's sandal powder, a packet of biscuits and even a small bottle of
Amrutanjan! recalls D. Sundaravaradan, whose family has lived in
Mylapore for more than 150 years. ('Mired in controversy' by Suganthy Krishnamachari, The Hindu, Nov 30, 2012) |
