Kayile Pulippadhenne

Kayile Pulippadhenne is a Carnatic vocal composition featured as the second track on the 1996 studio album Bindhumalini. Sudha Ragunathan performed the lead vocals with K S Raghunathan providing accompaniment. The album released under the Amutham label in CD format.

The track spans 4 minutes and 32 seconds. The composition adheres to traditional Carnatic structures, though specific raga or tala details remain undocumented in available sources. Bindhumalini marked one of Sudha Ragunathan’s commercial releases during the mid-1990s, a period characterized by her exploration of both classical and semi-classical repertoire. The album title references the raga Bindumalini, but direct confirmation of the track’s raga assignment is not explicitly stated in the release metadata.

Amutham, the Chennai-based label, produced the recording with distribution primarily targeting South Indian audiences. The CD format aligned with the industry’s transition from cassette tapes to digital media during the decade. No additional session musicians, lyricists, or composers receive attribution in the provided context. The track’s reception and chart performance, if any, are not recorded in accessible archives.

Sudha Ragunathan’s discography from this era frequently included collaborative works with instrumentalists, though Bindhumalini emphasizes her vocal interpretations. K S Raghunathan’s role in the album is noted but lacks further specification regarding instrumentation or arrangement contributions. The 1996 release date places the work within a broader timeline of Carnatic music’s commercial recordings, which saw increased studio production values during the late 20th century.
