Launched in
February 2006, the idea of the Sunday Kutcheri in the Park, that takes place on
the first Sunday of every month, is to provide opportunities to young budding
talent aged below 15 years to present in front of an informal park audience
amidst chirping birds and falling leaves. Over 1300 children have been part of
the Kutcheri in the Park series.
