💨 Abstract

The annual Margazhi festival, celebrating Carnatic classical music in Chennai, has seen a decline in audience and revenue in the last two decades. Historian V Sriram presented research showing that only about 7,000 people attend the festival, and ticket sales amount to just Rs 1.68 crore, while canteen sales reach Rs 6 crore.
