The Sundaram Finance Mylapore Festival 2008

Welcome to the 2008 edition of the festival.

Welcome to Mylapore, the home of the fest.

Mylapore is older than the city of Madras, now Chennai. And it boasts of heritage, art, tradition, religious harmony and more.

So it deserves a festival of its own.

That is why the Sundaram Finance sponsored Mylapore Festival is organised every year in the month of margazhi, on the eve of the harvest fest of Pongal.

What began as a simple kolam contest for the community organised by the neighbourhood newspaper, Mylapore Times ( in its 13th year), has now grown into the Mylapore Festival.

Four days. Ten venues, 30 events, 250 artistes. And thousands of people soak in it.

Welcome to what is Chennai's most unique festival held in the spaces all around the famed Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple.

The 2008 fest will take place from Jan 3 and 6, 2008.

Welcome!
