Sarangapani was a composer of Carnatic music who lived during the 17th century in the village of Karvetinagaram in Andhra Pradesh.[1] He is famous for his composition of Padams, a type of Carnatic song sung during Bharatanatyam performances. Sarangapani was the Minister of Education in the court of the local king Venkata Perumal.
Sarangapani was fluent in both Telugu and Sanskrit and wrote almost 200 Padams[1] in both languages. His songs were written in tribute to the god Venugoplala, the presiding deity of Venugopalaswamy Temple, Karvetinagaram[1] and contain the mudra "Venugopala".
