TIAGYA RAJ. A native of Trivadi, in the Tanjore district; a pupil of a musician called Venkatraman Iyer. He was a great composer of kruthis, many of which are exceedingly popular all through India. Tiagya paid special attention to the requirements of melody, and his songs are mostly free from the monotony and intricacies of the râgas as practised by Hindustani musicians. He flourished from about 1820–1840.
