Many Carnatic music composers have composed songs on holy places or kshetras. In this programme, we listen to the Carnatic compositions on Tirupati and its presiding deity Lord Venkateshwara. Of course, when one thinks of Tirupathi, one thinks also of Annamacharya, whose compositions are dedicated to the Lord of the Seven Hills. This programme includes songs of Venkateshwara by a range of composers over the ages, apart from a song on Goddess Alamelu Manga too.
