The place
A big covered arena under a shamiana, with jhummar chandeliers, stepped stands and corner screens. The stage is deep and wide, with an LED screen behind the band from the riser's floor to just under the truss.
- The sound
- A long, dense reverb and a slap back off the far stands.
- The floor
- Patterned cement tiles in deep reddish browns, as Athangudi tiles are made, with a printed vinyl mandala.
- Watching from far off
- You sit in the near stand. Each step hides the lower half of the people beyond it, so you see heads and shoulders over the rows.
- Arriving
- The view comes in through the stadium's carved doors as they swing open.
- From the air
- The view stays under the roof.
