Annamayya Songs

Annamayya songs, also known as Annamacharya keertanas, are devotional hymns composed by the 15th-century poet-saint Tallapaka Annamacharya, who is revered in the Telugu-speaking regions of India. He dedicated his life to praising Lord Venkateswara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, through lyrical poetry. His songs emphasize devotion, spirituality, and the human experience of divine love. Often sung in temples and cultural gatherings, Annamayya's works not only reflect his deep faith but also highlight the rich cultural heritage of Andhra Pradesh, combining classical music with moral and philosophical themes. They remain significant in Indian classical music and spiritual practice today.
