		Although, Thyagaraja Aradhana started in Thiruvaiyaru to celebrate the Great life of Thyagaraja, it is now celebrated throughout the world as a tribute to the life and music of the Trinities.

		Thyagaraja can justly be considered the greatest figure in Carnatic music.He was born in Tiruvarur,one of the chief centers of Nadaswaram music and moved to Thanjavur the hub of all musical activity.To paraphrase the Late Rangaramanujam Iyengar(the great Thyagaraja Scholar) Thyagaraja's pre-eminence among Composers rests on both musical and non-musical factors.
		In 1914 Thillaisthanam Panchu Bhagavathar-this branch being a major desciple group of Thyagaraja- set up a committee which started the Annual Music Festival.In 1940 Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha was formed to conduct the Annual Music Festival at Thiruvaiyaru and all the musicians voluntarily perform there.

		Thyagaraja on seeing the portrait, became so overwhelmed with emotion and extemporaneously composed the now famous krithi -'Nannu palimpa nadachi vacchitivo' in Mohana ragam.
		Thyagaraja knew intuitively ahead of time when his last day on this earth would be, and so he left behind his puja idols, Rama padukas and his tambura in the care of Venkataramana Bhagavatar.
		Amongst many disciples Thyagaraja had, much credit also goes to Tanjavur Rama Rao- who took the initiative to be his private secretary and planned Thyagaraja's trips to various pilgrimage centers and also went along with him.

		Thyagaraja now proceeds to describe the divine beauty of the Lord which 'grows more and more charming as one looks at it'The kriti is based on the sloka:
		Thyagaraja quotes a long list of witnesses who feasted their eyes upon that divine splendour.They include Dhruva,Anjaneya,Siva,Narada,Suka,Saunaka,Indra,Parvati and Sita.This moving piece in Varali bears Thyagaraja's characteristic imprint.
		In the end Thyagaraja offers his salutations to the preceptors and purvacharyas of yore, as laid down in the sloka "Punyan Iman parama bhagavatam smarami' And what a galaxy of acharyas, bhagavatas, munis and devotees he presents!
