The Kriti – Its Contribution to Modern Music (1478 words) |
 | The krithi therefore came timely, when music ceased to be merely an aid to bhakti or religion and acquired the status of form and social entertainment. |
| Later a varnam and three or four krithis, unadorned with the artistes embellishment, were sung as a prelude to ragam, tanam and pallavi, which again continued to occupy the most important place and portion on the concert, as it does even today. |
| It was then that the krithis of the Trinity, especially Thyagaraja, came in handy and opportune, for these performers to introduce more and more of new ragas and compositions into the concert, and their own personal abilities while rendering raga, neraval and swara. |
