Madikeri, Oct 26: The existing auditorium at Gandhi Maidan, located on Raja Seat Road in the city, is being demolished to pave the way for the construction of a new auditorium. The project, estimated to cost Rs. 2.10 crore, involves the demolition of the old structure—which took place on Monday—with the objective of systematically constructing a new, well-planned auditorium.
The old auditorium had served for many years as a venue for various public activities in the city, including cultural programs, meetings, ceremonies, and protests. It has now been razed using machinery, and a new, well-equipped auditorium will be built in its place.
The new auditorium is planned to feature a large stage, green rooms for artists, restrooms, and other essential infrastructure. The project also includes the development of parking facilities for the convenience of visitors.
The tender process for the construction work has been completed, and the contract has been awarded to Rafi, a contractor based in Mangaluru. Following the commencement of the project, the work of clearing the site of the old building is currently underway in full swing. The old Rangamandira is closely linked to the cultural history of Madikeri city; for many years, it hosted a variety of public events, including plays, music performances, dance recitals, and literary programs. This venue also served as a site for protests by various organizations. Now, the demolition of this historic building has stirred memories of the city’s past.
