Saint Tyagaraja Aradhana, 2025
Mar 22nd (Sat) to 23rd (Sun)
Tyagaraja Aradhana is observed every year by artists, gurus, students, and connoisseurs of Carnatic music around the world. On this day homage is paid to the great Saint composer Tyagaraja (1767-1847). Saint Tyagaraja composed thousands of kritis predominantly in Telugu and a few in Sanskrit in invocation and praise of Lord Shree Rama. Year 2025 is the 178th Aradhana of the Saint composer.
Pushya Bahula Panchami, his Samadhi day is commemorated every year by group singing of five of his Pancharatna compositions (five gems) in his honor. Typically, this group singing is followed by individual renditions of Tyagaraja kritis by students of Carnatic music.
