HYDERABAD: The tech hub of Hitec City was transformed into a space for devotion through the Carnatic vocal concerts of Tyagaraja Keerthanas, held as part of the Hyderabad Tyagaraja Aradhana Music Festival (HTAMF).
The 11th edition of HTAMF, one of the largest Tyagaraja Aradhana celebrations, was held outside Tiruvaiyaru, at the Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT), Hyderabad on Monday.
