Which of the following is NOT part of the Carnatic Music Trinity?
- Tyagaraja
- Muthuswami Dikshitar
- Syama Sastri
- Purandara Dasa
Answer: Purandara Dasa
The Carnatic Music Trinity consists of Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Sastri (18th-19th century). Purandara Dasa (15th-16th century) is revered as the 'Father of Carnatic Music' but predates the Trinity.
