Swathi Sangeethotsavam (Swathi Music Festival) is a week-long festival of music celebrating the compositions of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal. The festival is held from 6 to 12 January every year at the courtyard of Kuthira Malika, Trivandrum. It pays homage to Swati Tirunal by devoting the entire festival to his compositions.[1] The concerts are not ticketed. The festival is conducted by Rama Varma Maharaja of Travancore Trust under the helm of Prince Rama Varma.[2]

History

The Government of Kerala used to conduct the festival in Kuthiramalika in memory of Swathi Thirunal. In the late 90s they decided to hold it in different places all over Kerala. So they discontinued the festival at Kuthiramalika. In 2010 Rama Varma Maharaja took initiative to organize and continue the annual festival under the Travancore Trust.[3]
