Purandaradasa is known as Father of Carnatic music or Karnataka Sangeetha Pitamaha. He wrote many Keerthanas with the pen name of Purandara Vittala.
His original name is Srinivasa Nayaka. He was born in 1484.
He dedicated his life to propagating spiritual wisdom and devotion to Lord Krishna through finely crafted songs in local Kannada language as well as Sanskrit.
Purandara Dasa composed an extensive repertoire of about 475,000 devotional compositions, pioneering the Dasa Sahitya style of poetry and music.
Though only around 1000 of his works survive, they demonstrate profound scholarship in both lyrical forms and musical theory.
