The Tamil Trinity (also known as the Tamil Moovar) commonly refers to the three Tamil composers of early Carnatic music. They were Muthu Thandavar[1] (?1560 - ?1640 CE), Arunachala Kavi (1712–1779) and Marimutthu Pillai[2] (1717–1787), and lived five decades before the Tiruvarur Trinity or Trinity of Carnatic Music. They introduced several innovations that led to the evolution of the Carnatic kriti (song).
