As a fervent admirer of the musical maestro Ilaiyaraaja, I find myself both awestruck and saddened by the recent incident at the Srivilliputhur Andal Temple. The man who has graced our screens with his melodious symphonies for nearly five decades was asked to step out of a sacred chamber due to a technicality.
Notably, renowned musician Ilaiyaraaja stirred a commotion during his trip to the Srivilliputhur Andal Temple in Tamil Nadu. In this sanctified place, the composer went to pay respects through prayer, but the course of events took an unanticipated twist when the priests and devotees brought forth allegations of violations against him.
As per a News18 report, Ilaiyaraaja was asked to exit a private, off-limits room containing a deity in a temple. Temple officials explained that this area is not open to the public and kindly requested Ilaiyaraaja to vacate the sacred space. Upon learning about the matter, Ilaiyaraaja showed respect and obliged by stepping out of the room.
Although there was a small interruption, Ilaiyaraaja managed to catch a glimpse of the deity and conclude his temple visit. Yet, footage of him being ushered off the temple grounds has become popular on social media platforms.
It is said that Ilaiyaraaja paid a visit to the Srivilliputhur Andal Temple, hoping for blessings prior to the launch of his devotional piece, Divya Pasuram. He was joined by Sadagopa Ramanuja Jeeyar and Sadagopa Ramanuja Iyer, who hail from the Sri Andal Jeeyar Mutt based in Srivilliputhur.
Take a look at the video below:
Ilaiyaraaja, a renowned musician hailing from India, made his entry into the world on June 3, 1943. Over the course of four and a half decades, he’s left an indelible mark in the Indian film industry, creating over 7,000 songs and providing music for more than a thousand films. His global performances have reached well beyond the 20,000 mark.
Mostly, his professional endeavors revolve around Tamil cinematography, yet they extend to Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and Kannada movies as well. Notably, Ilaiyaraaja was among the pioneers in blending Western classical music harmonies into Indian film compositions.
He was also historically known as the initial South Asian to allegedly write an entire symphony. In 1986, he marked a significant milestone by being the pioneering Indian composer to record a film soundtrack using computers for the movie Vikram. Furthermore, in 2006, he produced India’s inaugural oratorio, Thiruvasagam in Symphony.
