Sri Muthuswami Deekshithar's 250th Jayanthi Celebration

Dear Friends and Well-Wishers,

The Greater Seattle Area Music Rasikas invite you to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration honoring the 250th Jayanthi of Sri Muthuswami Deekshithar, one of the Trinity of Carnatic music.

This event is a musical tribute to Sri. Deekshithar and his extraordinary compositions, exploring the many dimensions of his work—much like admiring a diamond from different angles to experience its brilliance.

Why We Need Your Support

As a free, community-driven event, we rely entirely on your enthusiasm to bring this celebration to life. Your contribution will help us cover:

The Aazhi Thaer – The Grand Temple Chariot of Thiruvarur

The Sri Thyagaraja Swamy Temple Chariot in the town of Thiruvarur, the birthplace of Sri Muthuswami Deekshithar, is the largest temple chariot in Asia. It takes thousands of devoted hands working together to pull it through the streets—an enduring symbol of community, unity, and devotion.

Just as the chariot moves forward with the strength of many, we look to your coming together as a community to support the 250th Jayanthi celebration of Sri Muthuswamy Deekshithar.

We wish and hope you will join us and celebrate.
