What ragam is this thillana?

Post by Aka4512 »

HI all i'm new to this forum I am very excited being apart of this community now.

Anyway the purpose of this post is to know if anyone recognizes this thillana?
this is the thillana... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... in8#t=188s
According to my trial and error and tracking it down using the help of Sridevi Nrithyalaya's new website I managed to come to this conclusion.
I believe this thillana I'm looking for is in
Ragam: Desh
Thalam: Aadhi
Composer: Thiru.Dhandayuthapani Pillai
(courtesy of Sridevi Nrithyalaya website)

With this I decided to search on the internet for this track. I cannot find it what so ever.
I found a thillana in Hindolam but that is not the same as I heard on the video here.
Can you help me with the actual ragam, of the thillana and who composed it?
If you have the song or you know where to get it from please let me know.

Thank you.

Madam/Sir,
The link is to a Tamil krithi with some chitte swara, raga Revathi..lyric "umApati..dayAnidhi"..etc.
Followed by kA vA vA in Varali raga (PS) and then Desh tillana. It is a medley of clips.

Well, a new raga discovery for me. Thanks

Can't find much info on Paalini but there is this same song, sounds a bit different, on Youtube:

Isn't Lalita Sivakumar Nityashree's mother?

More gyan on Paalini in a forum hub chat:

From: Burton Winn


I have the CD booklet of Ragam 1 (Amutham AM010) in front of me. I believe the song in question, Kapali Nee, is number 7 on the CD. The book states number 7 is in Ragam Palini [Janya Ragam of Melakartha-16-Chakravagam]. The ascending scale is : S R1 G3 P N2 S. The descending scale is: S. N2 P
G3 R1 S . The booklet further states that the lyric was written by Smt. Lalitha Sivakumar, mother and Guru of Nithyasree. Also in the booklet is this: "Please note that the name of the raga appears in the Pallavi, Anupallavi, and Charanam as an integral part of the lyric with different meaning in each phrase." I hope this helps. I am a fan of Nithyasree and Carnatic music.

The thillana is by K.N. Pakkirisamy Pillai, but often mistakenly atrributed to his brother, KNDP. It is indeed in Desh and dedicated to Lord Nataraja.

This website has audio which also mislabels the composer. http://mio.to/#/album/10-Classical_Carn ... yam_Songs/
