It seems this event happened at Puttur Mahalingeshwara temple in Karnataka. First time I am hearing this Vidwan and made me listen to all of his videos on this channel.
This is at Puttur Mahalingeshwara (Sivan) temple in Karnataka. The puthur you are referring to is a very small village and saxophone playing has not come to Jaffna yet.
Puttur is not a small village but it is a town and taluk hq. Mahalingeshwar temple is famous here. Puttur Dr. Ganesh is popular sax player in karnatic music style.
