Tyagaraja Aradhana

Tyagaraja Aradhana

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 Indian 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, dozens of Carnatic musicians preside over, and perform in, the festival.

Tyagaraja Aradhana is often associated with the world famous singer and saint "tyagaraja".
