Krishna Gana Sabha, tucked away between the busy streets of commercial T Nagar, is another one of the hallowed, revered concert venues in the city, and particularly loved for its charming form and lovely ambience. The building was recently renovated with a mix of Kerala style and Chettinad influences, and the warm wooden pillars, large verandahs and old-world cane chairs are reminiscent of a place and time that was far more tranquil and easygoing. Duck into the quaint little gable roofed Krishna Sweets-run canteen, sip on steaming filter coffee as you take in the atmosphere, enjoy the lush vegetation and watch dancers and singers around you talk art as they tuck into their absolutely delectable morkalis {infused with just the right amount of that mouthwatering tanginess}. Make sure you try the Pidi Kozhukattai; dipped into a generous amount of green chutney, it makes for an excellent pre or post-concert snack.
