An Anthyakshari of Yakshagana songs started on September 11, 2006 recently hit the 1000th mark and still goes on...! Of course, on the cyber stage.
The host to what seems to be the unstoppable Anthyakshari is the Yakshagana community on Orkut which has 1099 members as on today. When Bangalore-based chartered accountant Kalgargiri, one of the moderators of the commmunity, started the Anthyakshari he himself would not have foreseen the kind of participation that it has since generated.
Announcing its launch, Kalgargiri left the song 'Adouv Devakee Devi Garbha Jananaou....Leelaamrutham' Ashoka followed it with Parthisubba's famous song 'Maatanaadabaaradene Seetaa Devi' of Choodaamani episode... And from then on there was no break. Some of the regular contributors are Chandrashekhar Badekila from Hyderabad, Subramanya Bhat from Mangalore, Amrita Deva and Ashoka from Bangalore and Gopal Bhat from Santa Clara, US besides Mr Kalgargiri.

Gatty,
Thanks for the report.
However, just a small correction. The community that you have mentioned is not limited to badagu. It is for Yakshagana in general.
Many thanks Bhagavathare for visiting and pointing out the error. I have inserted the correction....
