Tamil Thai Valthu, also romanised as Thamizh Thaai Vaazhthu (Invocation to Mother Tamil) is the State song of Tamil Nadu. The song was written by Manonmaniam Sundaram Pillai and composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[1] Generally official functions of the Government of Tamil Nadu start with this song and end with the Indian National Anthem. The song is sung daily in schools all over Tamil Nadu during the assembly at morning.
