A musical tribute was paid to the saint composer, Thyagaraja, at Thiruvaiyaru on Saturday, which happened to be the bahula panchami day on which the composer attained mukti.
The aradhana celebrations, conducted by the Sri Thyagabrahma Mahotsava Sabha, Thiruvaiyaru, was curtailed to a one-day event this year in view of restrictions imposed by the State government because of the pandemic. Sabha office-bearers ensured that the number of participants was limited at 100 to adhere to government restrictions.
