Thyagaraja Aradhana is an annual music festival dedicated to the renowned South Indian classical composer Saint Thyagaraja. Saint Thyagaraja was one of the Trinities of Carnatic music, along with Muthuswami Dikshitar and Syama Sastri. He lived during the 18th century and is celebrated for his numerous compositions in praise of Lord Rama. Jaxraaga celebrates this event with soulful and enriching music featuring performances by renowned artists, senior children and a collective rendition of Thyagaraja's Pancharatna Kritis.
