The idea behind the Kutcheri in the Park is to promote young musical talent aged below 15 years and to help them shed their inhibitions and give them the confidence to move up to the next level. Over 700 children have presented the mikeless Kutcheri at the Nageswara Rao Park over the last 7years. Sundaram Finance conducts audition to select the artistes.
