Odes to a Temple is a docu-series that explores the rich heritage of India's deep South, a land of emerald rice fields and palm forests, dotted every few miles with magnificent temple towers. These temples, crafted by visionary rulers driven by faith, stand as some of the world's most remarkable stone treasures. Throughout history, revered seers and composers have dedicated songs and poems to the deities within, serving as a comprehensive encyclopedia of culture and spirituality. From ancient Saivite and Vaishnavite saints to the Carnatic Trinity of the 18th century, to modern-day composers, temple-inspired music remains central to Carnatic music. Each episode takes you through a temple, with a selection of songs rendered by ace Carnatic vocalist Ramakrishnan Murthy within the temple premises. The narration traces a Carnatic trail through the temple and highlights the harmonious interlacing of temple iconography, history, literature and music.
We begin with the temples of Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu and heartland of Carnatic music today. Episode 4 features Masilamanishwara temple, located at Tirumullaivayil, a western suburb of of Chennai.
