Good auditorium for small group of people. Nicely maintained and perfectly air conditioned. Entry exit points are visible and easy to access. Restrooms are maintained clean. Only issue is car parking. Its on the busiest market place and situated in main temple Street.

Review №22

A compact hall good acoustics, well lit and air-conditioned. Thats about it. Inside the auditorium the aisle steps towards the rear end of the balcony are pretty steep and leg room In the seating space is poor nay pathetic. An extra short step is a must here. Well anyways the hall here was product of a construction era when quality was compromised more often than not. Also feel that the hall needs a rejig as the space looks quite run down! A vital issue here is the lack of adequate parking space or perhaps nil car parking space. Wonder why a basement and stilt parking wasnt considered especially given the density of population and the location.

A good place for programs. Traffic needs to be regulated. Traffic becomes a mess if there is a popular program. Recommend using Ola or Uber rather than your own car.

Review №49

One of the best place in chennai to enjoy best classical music by top performers free of cost. Happened to hear top performers like sid scream, sudha rabghunathan, trichy brothers, gayatri and ranjana sisters free of cost. The auditorium overflowed and listeners were very knowledgeable and maintained good silence. Only draw back is by around 8:30 pm most of the older listeners start leaving resulting in disturbance to others. This has some how to be taken care of.It would have been better if top performers programme begins by 6 pm and completed by 8 pm.Hatsoff to Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan for organising such excellent music festivals free of cost.

Except for parking the best auditorium for cultural events like Music Dance! Next to Kapaleeswarar Temple! Good sound system, seating arrangement in the ground level. Seating arrangement in Balcony level is little tricky for aged due to high stairs levels to climb

Excellent entertainment programs take place attended by people from all walks of life. Main drawback is that no ample car park . It is better go by cabs

Review №73

Not their fault! I had two bad experiences, both due to the organisers. 1) It was announced that there is a musical performance, but when my wife and I reached there, we were turned back saying Its a private affair; how arrogant can people get!? 2) The Times of India organised a Sudoku competition today, but disappointed the more than 200 people assembled saying There was a small communication gap within the Times fraternity; it was Bhavans Rajaji Vidyashram in Kilpauk (not Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Mylapore); sorry, please come again next week! And this was something widely advertised in the newspapers, social media, their own website, and so on. Again, how arrogant can people get!? First they offered to ferry everyone to the other venue and adjust the timings accordingly, but the people gathered were very vociferous saying This is a mind game; now our minds have been agitated, so postpone the event. I suppose there werent any contenders from far-off places!

This is one of the landmark places in mylapore. There practically some cultural activity or the other happening there every evening. The auditorium has now been renovated which further makes it classy and more comfortable. Limited parking is available outside the auditorium

Very good auditorium in mylapore with all sorts of facilities. Can be expensive for some class of people. Parking is a big problem in the area as the auditorium does not have its own parking. For event organizers there are some parking premises available in the vicinity on rent.

A huge hall in east mada street where musical , dance, religious orations conducted by the BVB.

Review №99

Located in the heart of Mylapore right near the Kapali Temple and easily accessible by public transport. Generously sized seats and enough space between rows to move through without too much discomfort.However, the sound system requires work. The volume (from the listeners perspective - assuming no loss in hearing faculties) is frequently higher than necessary - I wore ear plugs for a Carnatic vocal concert recently. The artistes too had to request frequent adjustment for quite a while for ambient feedback.I suspect that the air conditioning varies in efficiency within the auditorium. Some on stage can be cold while audience members, just a few feet below, can be sweating.
