Saint Tyagaraja

The Tyagaraja Aradhana festival is held in January when most of the leading exponents of Carnatic music come to perform and are watched by thousands of ardent fans of classical music. A huge complex is now under construction at Thiruvaiyaru at this site to accommodate the large audience that come to the concert in ever increasing numbers every year.


In the US, there is a Cleveland Tyagaraja Aradhana held in Cleveland, Ohio every April. Usually, doyens of Carnatic music preside and perform in the festival.


This is done in memory of the Worlds Famous singer and a saint "tygaraja".
