Musicians rendering the ``pancharathna kritis'' and paying homage to the saint-composer, Sri Thyagaraja, at the 158th aradhana festival in Thiruvaiyaru, Tamil Nadu, on Sunday.
THANJAVUR, JAN. 30. Hundreds of musicians paid homage to the saint composer, Sri Thyagaraja, by rendering the `pancharathna kritis' at the 158th aradhana of the saint at his samadhi at Tiruvaiyaru near here today. The aradhana is held every year on Pushya Bagula Panchami day when the saint attained samadhi. A ``unjavruthi'' bhajan was taken out from the saint's house to the samadhi on the banks of the Cauvery prior to the singing of the `kritis'. Musicians including Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan, Sudha Ragunathan, Rajam Iyer and others sat before the samadhi and sang the `kritis' together.
The five-day aradhana festival was inaugurated by the Tamil Nadu Governor, Surjeet Singh Barnala, on January 27. Music concerts will continue till February 1.
