Thiruppavai is composed by Andal Nachiyar. Andal is one among the twelve tamil azhwars. Thiruppavai is a part of The Divya Prabandham, comprising of 4,000 verses. The thirty paasurams of Tiruppavai are sung in the Tamil month of Margazhi. Tiruppavai has captivating lyrics, with in-depth meaning. It is considered equivalent to the Vedas. Tiruppavai was composed by Andal with an aim to reach Paramathma (Lord Vishnu) by singing these verses and undertaking fast (known as Pavai nombhu).

Smt. Vidya Subramanian, a disciple of Lalgudi Shri G.Jayaraman, has beautifully sung each paasuram, in an easy-to-learn format. She mentions the names of all the ragas and provides a brief description as well, which is very useful.
