read more Many Carnatic music compositions are based on Sanskrit texts, especially those composed by great composers like Muthuswami Dikshitar, who extensively used Sanskrit for his kritis. Dikshitar’s works, such as "Vatapi Ganapatim" and "Meenakshi Me Mudam Dehi," are classical examples of Sanskrit-based compositions rich in intricate lyrics and devotional content. Besides Dikshitar, composers like Swati Tirunal and some pieces by others also use Sanskrit. These compositions often praise Hindu deities and embody profound philosophical and spiritual themes. Sanskrit’s classical and poetic nature adds grandeur and timelessness to these kritis, preserving ancient cultural and religious traditions within Carnatic music. read less
