Annamalai Reddiyar

அண்ணாமலை ரெட்டியார்
Some devotional words are remembered through the way they move in song.
Annamalai Reddiyar is remembered for Kavadi Chindu, associated with Murugan devotion and the kavadi tradition. His place in this library connects literary reading with the living experience of singing.
A song can join the movement of a pilgrimage with words held in memory. The experience of listening becomes richer when we also pause over the poetry, noticing its images and the voice in which it addresses Murugan.
