The main gopuram and the Amman vimanam (foreground), Kapali temple

Last December, I was asked by Sruti magazine and Music Forum to speak at their Lec Dem Mela 2018. The topic given to me was Musical Sthalams of Madras. They have since put the talk up on YouTube and I am giving the link below. As is often the case with my talks, being extempore, I have made a couple of errors and I notice Mylapore got a lot less space than what it ought to have. But then I guess the latter is acceptable as in most forums Mylapore corners much of the time anyway.
