Swathi Thirunal Jayanthi (30th of April )

Swathi Thirunal Jayanthi (birth anniversary)
30th of April is the birth anniversary of one the leading men in history of Kerala. Maharaja Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (1813 - 1847) of Travancore - scholar and linguist, poet and musician, statesman and social reformer, patron of arts and sciences, and more than all, a benevolent ruler much loved by his people - left an indelible mark on his land.

His great contribution to Carnatic music is celebrated at the Swathi Sangeethotsavam (music festival) from 27th January to 2nd February every year. These musical evenings are arranged in the romantic light of traditional oil lamps on the premises of Kuthiramalika the equine mansion, where he spent his last days. It was here, in a little room that faces the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple, that Swathi Thirunal composed his musicals.
