Sangita Kalanidhi (sangita = music, kala = art, nidhi = treasure or ocean) is the title awarded annually to a Carnatic musician by the Madras Music Academy.
From 1929 to 1941, the award did not exist. The award was conceived in 1942 by Academy President K. V. Krishnaswami Iyer and on 1 January 1943 all musicians who had presided over the annual conferences between 1929 and 1942 were awarded the title. This included 2 or 3 past presidents - Palamarneri Swaminatha Iyer (1931), probably Umayalpuram Swaminatha Iyer (1936) and Mangudi Chidambara Bhagavatar (1937) - but no posthumous award has been presented since then. Some sources cite 1946 as the year of death for Umayalpuram Swaminatha Iyer, in which case he might have received the Sangita Kalanidhi in his lifetime.
