In 1886, Manni Thirumalachariar felt the need for an institution to foster all aspects of Indian culture and began this organization, which was originally called “Sangeetha Vidwat Sabha”. In the beginning programmes were held in the residence of its founder. Later in 1900, it was registered as a public institution with the present name.
