Muthuswami Dikshitar

Indian composer (1776–1835)

Muthuswami Dikshitar (24 March 1776–21 October 1835; IAST: muttusvāmi dīkṣitar; also known as Mudduswamy Dikshitar and, mononymously, as Dikshitar, and sometimes Guruguha), was a South Indian Hindu poet, singer, veena player, and prolific composer of Indian classical music. He was the youngest member of the Trinity of Carnatic music, alongside Tyagaraja (1767–1847), and Syama Sastri (1762–1827). Dikshitar is credited with around 500 compositions, widely recognised for their elaborate poetic descriptions of Hindu deities and detailed architectural depictions of temples.
