In 1969, a group of passionate individuals came together with a shared vision of creating a space where people could come together to celebrate and learn about the arts and culture of South India. With determination and hard work, Bharathi Kala Manram was born, and soon thereafter the visionaries who brought this non-profit together envisioned recreating the pilgrimage to Tiruvaiyyaru. This was the genesis of the first ever North American Thyagaraja Festival.
