DESCRIPTION:Punalur Sangeetha Sabha Concert is a Carnatic vocal recital at 
 the town hall in Punalur\, Kollam. A sabha concert is an evening of classi
 cal music. There is a singer\, the usual accompaniment\, and an audience t
 hat has come to listen. You sit through the recital. It is not background 
 music for a fair.\n\nThe usual support is violin and mridangam. The violin
  follows the voice. The mridangam is the principal drum. A ghatam\, which 
 is a clay pot played with the hands\, or a kanjira\, which is a small fram

  or a fuller group. In a typical evening the singer presents compositions 
 and\, in the main part\, improvises inside a raga and a tala. A raga is th
 e melodic frame. A tala is the cycle of beats. You may hear an alapana\, w

 a composition\, and later a percussion solo while the singer rests. That s
 hape is how many sabha evenings go. No raga\, composer\, or kriti is fixed
  in advance\, so a request for one song is not part of the plan.\n\nThe ar
 tists are touring artists. They are not a resident company of the hall. No
  name is billed here. When the sabha prints a name\, that name is who you 
 will hear. Until then\, do not travel for a particular musician.\n\nPunalu
 r's 1877 suspension bridge over the Kallada is the town landmark. The conc
