Tamil Thai Valthu (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; "Prayer to Mother Tamil"), also known by the song's incipit, is the state song of the Indian Union territory of Puducherry. It was written by famous poet Bharathidasan.[1][2]
The song was at first sung in various tunes. In 1991, music director L. Krishnan set the current music and tune that the song is now sung to.[3] Generally, official functions of the Government of Puducherry start with this song and end with "Jana Gana Mana".
