Sri Purandaradasa Aradhana is the annual aradhana (a Sanskrit term meaning act of glorifying God or a person) of Kannada saint composer Purandara Dasa, who is considered as "The Pitamaha" (lit, "father" or the "grandfather") of Carnatic Music.[1] The festival is observed in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, primarily in Hampi, the place where Purandara Dasa lived and attained Samadhi[2] The aradhana is observed on Pushya Bahula Amavasya day, when the saint attained samadhi.
