Which of the following is NOT related to the ‘Trinity of Carnatic Music’?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Purandara Das.
Purandara Das is NOT related to the ‘Trinity of Carnatic Music’. The Trinity of Carnatic Music refers to three renowned composers: Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Shastri. These three composers are credited with revolutionizing Carnatic music in the 18th and 19th centuries, contributing immensely to its repertoire. Purandara Das, though a significant figure in Indian classical music, is regarded as the "father of Carnatic music" and is not part of this particular trio.
