Tyagaraja, born on 4
May 1767, was a renowned composer of Carnatic music, a form of Indian classical
music. He was prolific and highly influential in the development of the
classical music tradition. Tyagaraja and his contemporaries, Shyama Shastri and
Muthuswami Dikshitar, were regarded as the Trinity of Carnatic music. Tyagaraja
composed thousands of devotional compositions, most in Telugu and in praise of
Lord Rama, many of which remain popular today. Of special mention are five of
his compositions called the Pancharatna Kritis ("five gems"), which
are often sung in programs in his honour.
