Tyagaraja is celebrated for his immense contributions to Carnatic music through his compositions, which are revered for their depth of emotion, spiritual essence, and musical brilliance.

Tyagaraja's compositions, known as kritis, are characterized by their devotional themes, particularly his adoration of Lord Rama. His compositions often reflect his deep spiritual beliefs and devotion to Lord Rama, whom he considered his divine inspiration.
