Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur district is the place where the great saint and music
composer Thyagaraja
lived and attained samadhi. Here a music festival,
Thyagaraja Aradhana is held every year towards the end of
January. The festival will culminate with the rendition of the
Pancharatna kritis on Bahula Panchami. The venue is near his samadhi on the banks of river
Cauvery, 13kms from Thanjavur. This Carnatic Music festival attracts music lovers from
all corners of the country. Besides the music concerts,
religious rituals (pujas) are conducted by Sadguru Sri Tyagabrahma Aradhana Kainkarya Trust
at the samadhi during
the two days.
In fact, until 1907, there were no music concerts but only religious rituals, during the aradhana. In 1908, it was Narasimha Bhagavatar and his younger brother Panchu Bhagavatar, disciples of Thillaisthanam Rama Iyengar (‘antharanga sishya’ of saint Thyagaraja) who held a five-day aradhana festival that included harikathas and concerts. The music concerts are now presided over by Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha based in Thiruvaiyaru. The religious part of the Vaidika aradhana celebrations that began during the time of Thillaisthanam Rama Iyengar is continued even today by a Trust called ‘Sadguru Tyagabrahma Aradhana Kainkarya Trust, Madras,’ formed in 1984 by Chellam Iyer, S. Parthasarathy and a few others of the Thillaisthanam tradition. Thiruvaiyaru is situated 13kms from Thanjavur (Tanjore) in the state of Tamil Nadu.
