The famous Shanmukananda Sabha is stepping into its 60th year and will be celebrating its Diamond Jubilee Year from July 2012 till June 2013. It will also be the Golden Jubilee of the Auditorium.
The Sabha’s history has been dotted with a number of highs and a few lows, but one will concur that the Sabha has come out triumphant, weathering all storms. Today, it stands out as a unique institution combining fine arts and health care on one hand, holding aloft nationalistic fervor and cultural heritage, on the other.
