**Tiruchirappalli, February 3, 2025** – The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Tiruchi Kendra, in collaboration with the Infosys Foundation, Bengaluru, hosted a spectacular Sri Thyagaraja Aradhana programme on Sunday at the Sri Raghavendra Swami Mutt in Srirangam. The 12th edition of the event featured over 60 leading Carnatic musicians and 40 junior artistes performing the Pancharatna kritis, five iconic compositions by saint-composer Thyagaraja in praise of Lord Rama.
Auditor Kalayana Raman inaugurated the programme, attended by Bhavan’s Tiruchi Kendra director J.T. Chari, chairman Chandrakumar, and other officials. The two-hour-long performance, which included accompanying musicians, drew a large and enthusiastic audience. The Pancharatna kritis, known for their suitability for group singing, were rendered in unison, culminating in a maha arathi. The event served as a vibrant tribute to Thyagaraja’s enduring musical legacy.
