Austin Hindu Temple and Community Center

Guidelines for individual and group performances

• Only Annamacharya compositions should be rendered. Please email your name, the rAga and the krithi that you will be rendering to culturalinfo@austinhindutemple.org

• Please register on or before August 27, 2003.  Registration after August 27, 2003 will be accepted based on the time availability. 

• Owing to time constraints we will be limiting the number of participants to 16 children and 24 adults.  If we are out of slots for your category and you still want to participate, you are encouraged to wait to see if there is any time left after pre-registered participants finish their performances.

• Children: Individuals or groups - Please restrict your singing/playing to a maximum of 5 minutes. Groups of 3 or more children should restrict your performance to a maximum of 8 minutes.

• Adults:  Individuals or groups - restrict your singing to a maximum of 8 minutes. Extensive rAga AlApanas, niravals and kalpana svaras should be avoided.

• If you are presenting as a group of 3 or more adults, please restrict the duration of your group presentation to 12 minutes.

• Participants are requested to bring their own shruti-boxes or tamburas pre-tuned to the required shruti.

• To provide variety in the program, we discourage repetition of items performed by more than one participant/group.  However if you can perform the same krithi in a different rAga, we encourage you to do so. 

Pre-Registered Participants as of today

Please note that the sequence of items is subject to change.  Pre-registration date may be adjusted depending upon the number of pre-registered participants by the due date.
