best live music venues in Mumbai
On most weekends, the 60-year-old Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Auditorium is where you head to catch a performance of Carnatic (or South Indian classical) music. However, Mumbai's largest auditorium u2013 with a seating capacity of 2,763 spread over three floors u2013 is also a perennially popular venue for the city's biggest gigs. In the past couple of months, master percussionist Trilok Gurtu and Grammy-winning mohan veena player Vishwa Mohan Bhatt have staged performances here. Shanmukhananda also hosts the annual tribute concert that tabla maestro Zakir Hussain organises every year in memory of his father, Allah Rakha Khan, on 3 February. A red-letter date in the city's concert calendar, the event has featured some of the world's finest Indian classical, jazz and fusion music talent.
