'''Sri Purandaradasa Aradhana''' is the annual ''aradhana'' (a [[Sanskrit]] term meaning act of glorifying God or a person) of [[Kannada language|Kannada]] saint composer [[Purandara Dasa]], who is considered as "The Pitamaha" (lit, "father" or the "grandfather") of [[Carnatic Music]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Cultural News from India, Volume 20|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n8A5AQAAIAAJ|publisher=Indian Council for Cultural Relations|year=1979|page=33}}</ref> The festival is observed in the states of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Karnataka]], primarily in [[Hampi]], the place where Purandara Dasa lived and attained [[Samadhi]]<ref>{{cite news|title=A musical homage to saint-poet Purandaradasa|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/a-musical-homage-to-saint-poet-purandaradasa/article19195870.ece|date=1 July 2017|newspaper=The Hindu|first=Ranjani|last=Govind|accessdate=7 July 2020}}</ref> The aradhana is observed on [[Pausha|Pushya]] Bahula [[Amavasya]] day, when the saint attained samadhi.

==History==
The ''aradhana'' (Ceremony of Adoration) is held every year on the anniversary of the demise of the saint. This is on the Pushya Bahula Amavasya of the Indian [[Lunar calendar]] (a new moon day, generally in February–March).The Aradhana is celebrated across various parts of South India including [[Pandarapur]], [[Tirumala]], [[Hampi]] and [[Mantralayam]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Haridasa compositions to be archived: Expert|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/170118/haridasa-compositions-to-be-archived-expert.html|publisher=Deccan Chronicle|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> In [[Hampi]] it's organised by Purandara Dasara Aradhana Samithi Trust with annual programmes
In [[Tirumala]], it is organised by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Dasa Sahitya Project annually around January – February.<ref>{{cite news|title=‘Purandara Dasa Aradhana’ from January 26|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/‘Purandara-Dasa-Aradhana’-from-January-26/article14009631.ece|publisher=The Hindu|accessdate=20 January 2016}}</ref>

In the early 1970s, [[Jayachamaraja Wadiyar]] expressed regret that [[Purandaradasa]] was not given the status in [[Karnataka]] that [[Tyagaraja]] enjoyed in [[Tamil Nadu]]. Inspired by this Kannada journalist N.A. Murthy started Purandara Dasara Aradhana at Hampi and organised the annual programme from 1974 to 1976. After the death of Murthy his son Raja Rao started organising the annual programme at Purandara Vittala Devalaya, Mulbagal.
