Tamil Trinity

The Tamil Trinity (also known as the Tamil Moovar) commonly refers to the three Tamil composers of early Carnatic music. They were Muthu Thandavar [1][2] (1525–1600 CE), Arunachala Kavi[3][4] (1711–1779) and Marimutthu Pillai[5][6] (1712–1787), and lived five decades before the Tiruvarur Trinity or Trinity of Carnatic Music. They introduced several innovations that led to the evolution of the Carnatic kriti (song).

A memorial hall was constructed in honor of the Tamil Isai Moovar, in Sirkazhi.
