On Saturday, very first time, I visited Maharashtra Mandal in Bangalore. It’s located at Majestic in a maze of one-ways. The building itself was an immediate disappointment. I was standing in front of the building and had to ask for directions. Not a single board anywhere with "Maharashtra Mandal" on it! There is a Kamath Restaurant in the same complex and I couldn’t find anything Marathi in there. I was there for a preparatory meeting regarding the upcoming Gathi-Bheti group event - "Ek Marathmola diwas" to be organized on 1st of May - Maharashtra Diwas. It was really good to see around 20-25 Maharashtrian artists and organizers exchanging ideas and planning for this event. These guys are organizing this event from last four years and each of those events has been a grand success. They are planning to have bunch of cultural events like lavani, natak, kirtan etc. I don’t think they will have any celebrity coming in
this time around, but there will be a big Maharashtrian lunch instead! No, food is not coming from "The Peshwa", they had already finalized a caterer from Kolhapur even before The Peshwa Restaurant started :) But "The Peshwa" will be involved in organizing this event and tickets will be available at the restaurant for all those who are in south Bangalore.
Keep checking this blog for tickets, timing and other event details.
