19th century witnessed the Golden Era of music and arts in Travancore. It was the period of Sri Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (April 16, 1813 – December 25, 1846), the Maharaja of the state of Travancore in India. He was a patron of music and was an excellent musician himself. Swathi Thirunal encouraged both Hindustani and Carnatic music, though he was essentially a maestro of the Carnatic music tradition. He is credited with composing over 400 compositions in Carnatic and Hindustani music.
