Creative genius of the many vaggeyakaras (musician-composer) in Karnatic music is amazing- especially amongst the Trinity composers like Shyama Sastri, Tyagaraja and Muthuswami Dikshitar. Notably, Tyagaraja’s greatness as a composer is reflected not only by the voluminous number of compositions but also many kritis set in uncommon ragas, several of them are his own creations. Tyagaraja is one of the vaggeyakaras, whose has composed maximum number of kritis in rare and uncommon ragas.
