  Obituary - Mahadeva Bhagavatar
ABOUT US Mahadeva Bhagavatar was a soft colossus in the realm of Carnatic Music, a devoted disciple of the Dikshita Parampara and a forgotten factor.
Mahadeva Bhagavatar was one of the triumvirate (along with Anantakrishna Iyer and Sundaram Iyer) who transcribed several rare compositions of Dikshitar, from the cadjan-leaf treasure belonging to Ambi Dikshitar in 1935.
This perhaps was the salient contribution of Mahadeva Bhagavatar to posterity.

Ananta Bhagavatar's wife Parvati Ammal gave birth to Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar in September 1896, and younger brother Subrahmaniam was born a couple of years later.

Born at Kallidaikurichi, Tirunelveli district, Vedanta Bhagavatar had the advantage of spending his formative years in an atmosphere where linguists, composers and musicians abounded.
He came back to Kallidaikurichi at the age of twenty-one and settled down as a Kalakshepam artiste though he had given concerts too.
His rich, resonant voice with its magnificent volume and pleasing sound and its capacity to negotiate the higher octave with remarkable ease was his asset.
