Where to shop for music in Chennai/Madras?
Topic started by Ravi Shankar (@ icvbm157.icvbm.iupui.edu) on Fri Dec 3 09:55:22 EST 2004.
Hi,
I will be going to India next week, and am planning to shop in Chennai. I was wondering if some of the experienced shoppers here can help me with suggestions on the best place(s) to find some of the things I am looking for:
1. The songs of Koteeswara Iyer sung by S. Rajam
2. The two biographies of MS published in the last couple of years (The one by Mr. George, and the more recent 'Ode to Kunjamma' by Lakshmi Viswanathan)
3. DVDs or VCDs of old Tamizh movies
4. DVDs or VCDs of Bharatanatyam
5. Books on music and dance.
THANKS for sharing your expertise.

There is a branch of Music World in Spencer Plaza shopping centre.
More specifically classical, there is a shop near Kapiliswarar temple, a few doors away from Rasi Handicrafts towards the temple. The music is upstairs.
One I haven't visited is Essen Musicals at 158
Eldams Road.
The musical instrument shops eg Saptaswara in Royapettah High road will have some as well.
For books try the Karnatic Music Book Centre at
14 Sripuram First Street --- it's just off Royapettah High Road.
Have a Great Trip

There is a Giri Traders near Kapalishvarar temple in Mylapore which has the largest stock of Bharatanatyam music on cassettes and CDs.
