The Three great composers, Thyagaraja (1767-1847), Muthuswamy Dikshitar (1776- 1835) and Syama sastri (1762-1827) constitute the musical trinity.

They were all born in Thiruvarur and lived in the district of Thanjavur, Tamilnadu.They were great souls whose scholarship and proficiency were rooted firmly in Indian spirituality.  

                            Apart from the dexterity and command  with which they handled even the rare ragas,  making their compositions repositories of  musical genius, what has made them the ‘Trinity’ is the sublime and soul-stirring quality of their music.
