Thanjavur Jan. 22. Hundreds of Carnatic musicians paid their homage to the saint composer Thyagaraja by rendering his `pancharathna kritis' (five jewels of his renderings) in chorus at the 156th aradhana at the saint's samadhi on the banks of the Cauvery at Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur district today. The `aradhana' is celebrated every year on Pushya Bagula Panchami day when the saint attained samadhi under the auspices of Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha. The `unchavruthi bhajan' by devotees and musicians preceded the singing of the `kritis'. The bhajan started from the saint's house on Thirumanjanaveedhi and arrived at the samadhi. Musicians who participated in the singing include Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and Haridwaramangalam A.K. Palanivel, secretaries of Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha, Sudha Ragunathan, Sirkali Sivachidambaram, A.K.C. Nadarajan and others. R.Rajagopalan, Director-General of Police, Mr.G. Rangaswamy Moopanar, president of the Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha and L.Ganesan all-India BJP secretary, attended. Music concerts followed the event.
