The panegyrical hymn praises [[Uthrapathiswaraswamy Temple|Vatapi Ganapati]], [[Ganesha]] (Ganapati) worshipped in a shrine in [[Uthrapathiswaraswamy Temple|Tiruchenkattankudi Utrapatishwaraswamy Temple]] dedicated to lord Shiva in [[Thiruvarur]] district in the [[Tamil Nadu]] state of India. The hymn is composed in [[Hamsadhvani]] [[raga]] (musical mode); however, in tradition of kritis, individual performers add their own variations in the tune as a part of improvisation. ''Vatapi Ganapatim'' is considered the best-known piece of Muthuswami Dikshitar and is one of the most popular compositions of [[Carnatic music]] (South Indian classical music school). The hymn is traditionally sung at the beginning of many Carnatic music concerts. | ||
