Top 10 chittaswarams
Here is an idea prompted in part by rajeshnat's observation about them in another post.
We may need RSachi's polling expertise for this exercise and I am hoping he is willing to go along.
So we start with some nominations and then come up with the poll to see what people think.
My nominations:
1. Sobhillu saptaswara
2. Bhogeendra sayinam
3. Thaaye tripura sundari
Any additional info about the composer of the chittaswaram (when different from the composer of the song itself) will be appreciated.
Not sure if we have discussed this matter in detail in the past but I am sure we can do it again now

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
Suresh, great topic.
there are so many gems...
Janani ninuvina...
Broche varuevarura...
I feel sometimes that instrumentalists render chitteswaras better than vocalists. I have also heard that most chitteswaras were added later to the actual composition. I feel pancharatna kritis shine because of the way swaras and words are sung in Charanas.
I would suggest you start posting links to music clips featuring your favourites. Polling is less important than enjoying the music!

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
Thank you Sachi.
I don't think we should include Pancharatna keerthanas or Swarajathis. In fact I think we should not even include those kritis of Shyama Sastry/Subbaraya Sastry which have a swara passage followed up with the sahityam (like Janani Ninivina), since they
are integral to the kriti.

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
A very interesting topic !!
My Pick:
1. Gajavadana Sammodita Veera - Todi (A composition of Maharaja Kumara Ettendral, the Chittaiswaram for which is believed to have been composed by Baluswamy Dikshitar. The Different shades of Gamakas of Todi Gandharam is best heard/learnt from this chittaiswaram. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer renders the krithi in his inimitable style. One of the gems from Smt. T Brinda's repository.
One can hear to Smt Radha Vishwanathan singing the krithi here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrswfcaCI5U. Dont forget to read Cienu Sir's description.
2. Paripalinchu - Suddha Saveri - Thiruvisainallur Venkatarama Iyer
3. Amba Paradevate - Rudrapriya - Krishnaswamy Ayya
4. Nenarunchinanu - Malavi - Thyagarajar (Don't know about the composer of the Chittaiswaram)
5. Sri Mahaganapathi Avathu Mam - Gowla. Though, to the best of my knowledge it was not composed by Dikshitar, it adds beauty to the brisk gait in which it is rendered. Hope some of our forumites can throw light in the original composer of the Chittaiswarams

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
The chittaswarams for Kova Rago in Valaji is also awesome.
Vande vasudevam in shree raga also has a great chittaswaram.
Kamalambike of subburaya shastri
The chittaswarams in Emanine - Mukhari
The chittaswarams in Naa Jeevadhara - Bilahari
The ones of Sri Vishwanatham Bhajeham - Dikshitar
But IMHO , the chittaswarams for the Pancharatnas are simply in another league altogether.

Varsha,
As usual,a brilliant choice. Is it NS Srinivasan? I had met him a couple of times at AIR, Hyderabad. He was a jolly chatty person, parked in the coffee shop with a smoking butt always! And the violinist Sriram, Sriram Parasuram, or son of TNK? US West coast?

When all future musicians sing this krithi after hearing semmangudi tape recordings repeatedly as a base, then kalpanaswaras also become cittaswaras. .

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
Related matter:
Poornachandrika has at least three:
Telisi rama
Palukavemina
Sri ranganatham (an otherwise undistinguished song?) - as sung by DKJ/DKP
Begada has at least three, that I have heard
Manasunanera
Sankari nee (my favourite, I guess)
Anudinamunu
and Vallabhanayaka, which I have not heard.
So the winner is Begada. Any ragas with more? There must be, I'm sure.

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
nA morAlakinCi - dhanyAsi [vINA kuppayyar] has an explosively beautiful CiTTaswara which astutely exploits the symmetries available even in a rakti raga like dhanyAsi. Sadly this song is more or less absent from the concert stages today.
Several Dikshitar songs have beautiful ones - The CiTTaswara of saraswati chAyAtarangiNi is happy and bubbly; that of nIrajAkshi serious and grand, with several of the MND jumps that characterise the Dikshitar interpretation of this raga. I also enjoy the one appended to guruguhAdanyam in balahamsa. The palindromic CiTTaswara of kamalAmbAm bhajarE is a treat.
The Cittaswara of Annasvami Sastri's shri kAmAkshi in sArangA is another classic. It drips with the essence of sAranga without showing the shuddha madhyama even once. Pure genius.

I would think that the most significant aspect of a chittaswaram is its tala. Can chittaswaras be transplanted to a different raga? Has this been attempted?

Semmangudi mentions in the 1987 Academy concert that the chittaswaram for Nenarunchinanu was composed by Thirukkodaikaval Krishna Iyer.
But I also 'very vaguely' remember reading somewhere a while ago that GNB also had composed chittaswaram for that krithi. Not sure, if that was a different chittaswaram or my memory is wrong. If someone has more info on this to refute or confirm, that will be great.

And speaking of GNB composed chittaswarams, just 3 words -- Vara Raaga Laya. I need not say any more.

Re: Top 10 chittaswarams
There is a Sankarabharanam krithi by Mysore Sadasiva Rao.
It contains two chittaswarams, one for the anupallavi and one for the charanam.
One of them is ornamented with gamakas and is in Carnatic style.
The other one is sung with plain notes and resembles a Western tune.
For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the krithi.

Absolutely love the chittaswara in guruguhAya in sAma. Hadn't heard this in renditions by Vijay Siva and others but came across it in a lecdem by Vid. T.S. Sathyavathi on Dikshitar.
https://youtu.be/gyME2kMJM2o?t=2453
Both the chittaswara and her explanation are sparkling and a total treat.

I vote for Amba Paradevate and
Nannu Brochutaku (the western based cittaswaras are amazing and one of a kind). Sowmya sings this composition very well combining the carnatic kriti and western swaras very ably.
