Tamil Isai Sangam - 78th Isai Vizha - Thirumurai Isai - Thiru Sadgurunatha Oduvar

Tamil Nadu famous for its rich heritage and culture has nurtured the fine arts especially music and dance from time immemorial. A countless number of Tamil Songs have been composed by the Tevaram Moovar, Alwars, Muthuthandavar, Marimutha Pillai, Arunachala Kavirayar, and Arunagirinathar. Composers like Ramalinga Swamigal, Gopalakrishna Bharati, Neelakandha Sivan, Papanasam Sivan, Mahakavi Subramania Bharati, and many others have composed hundreds of Tamil songs. To promote Tamil Isai and to give it a Pride of place in a music concert, Raja Sir Annamalai Chettiar founded the Tamil Isai Sangam in 1943 with the Support of the first Indian Finance Minister Dr. R.K.Shanmugam Chettiar, the first Indian Governor-General Thiru C.Rajagopalachari, Thiru Kalki Krishnamoorthy, T.K.Chidambaranathan Mudaliyar, Thiru C.N.Annadurai, and others.
The sole aim of Tamil Isai Sangam was to give a predominant place for Tamil songs in Music Concerts and not using them as tail-enders.
In 1944 Tamil Isai Kalloori was established with the intention of teaching and promoting Tamil Isai throughout India especially in Tamil Nadu.
Chettinad Arasar extended financial assistance to meet the expenses of running the Tamil Isai Kalloori.
Following in his father's footsteps, Raja Sir Muthiah Chettiar also committed himself to the development of Tamil Isai Sangam. He had involved himself in the activities of the Sangam as the Vice President for several decades since its inception.
