Purandara Dasa, who passed away on 2 January 1565, was a composer, singer and Haridasa philosopher from present-day Karnataka, India. He was a follower of Madhvacharya's Dvaita philosophy.
Purandara Dasa is considered to be the father of Carnatic Music, as he formalized the music system which was a blend of various traditions of South India and the musical science as explained in the Vedas. He devised a system of teaching Carnatic music in graded lessons.
According to a legend, he is considered as an incarnation of Narada.
