It communicates the permitted notes and phrases of the raga, setting the mood for the composition that follows.

Tiruvarur Tala Vadya Vidyalaya Trust was incorporated in the year 2014 as we felt the strong
need of social services through music which will connect to the common man. The TTVV Trust
was founded with the sole intent to encourage the young talents in the Carnatic Music by
premiering over 200 concerts during the pandemic. Not only that TTVV trust financially
