About Ksheenamai Tiruga

Ksheenamai Tiruga is a Carnatic music composition performed by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer. The track appears as the sixth piece on the album Paramatmakam, released on 2011 under the SWATHI’S SANSKRITI Series label. The recording spans 6 minutes and 51 seconds and was issued in CD format.

The album Paramatmakam features traditional Carnatic vocal renditions by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, a prominent exponent of the Semmangudi bani (style) within the Carnatic tradition. The track Ksheenamai Tiruga exemplifies his approach to ragam-tanam-pallavi or kriti interpretations, though the specific raga, tala, and composer attribution remain undocumented in the provided context. The composition aligns with Iyer’s repertoire, which often emphasized bhakti rasam (devotional sentiment) and adherence to classical structural frameworks.

Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer (1908–2003) recorded extensively during his career, and Paramatmakam forms part of posthumous compilations curated from archival or live performances. The SWATHI’S SANSKRITI Series label specializes in classical Indian music releases, with this album contributing to the preservation of Iyer’s vocal legacy. No additional details regarding accompanying artists, recording location, or production personnel are available from the given context.

The track duration and placement within the album suggest a mid-length rendition, typical of concert-style Carnatic presentations. The 2011 release date indicates a compilation or reissue rather than a contemporary recording, reflecting the enduring influence of Iyer’s interpretations in later generations of Carnatic music dissemination.
