Rahman’s
favorite on the drums, none other
than Sivamani was at Sabarimala recently.
You can’t keep this man away
from rhythms and he proved this once
again when he gave an impromptu performance
right at the foot of the 18 holy steps
that lead to the sannidhanam.
Of course, he had not carried his
drums along with him and so had to provide
his rhythms on small vessels and other assortments
that doubled up as percussion instruments.
This was a different type of entertainment
which the Ayappa devotees thoroughly enjoyed.
