The aim of the Sunday Kutcheri in the Park, that takes place on the first sunday of every month between 630am and 730am, is to provide a platform for young children under the age of 15 years to display their musical talent in an informal park audience. Mikes and speakers are not used at the Sunday Kutcheri in the Park. Sundaram Finance conducts audition to select the artistes.
