Theeradha vilayattu pillai

Theeradha vilayattu pillai is a Carnatic music composition performed by vocalist Sudha Ragunathan. The track appears as the sixth piece on her 2005 studio album Shakti, released under the French label Accords Croisés. The album adopts a CD format and features traditional South Indian classical repertoire with instrumental accompaniment.

The recording spans 6 minutes and 59 seconds. Ragunathan renders the song in a style characteristic of her interpretive approach to ragas, though specific raga or tala details remain undocumented in available sources. The album Shakti emerged as part of her discography during the mid-2000s, a period marked by collaborations with international labels to introduce Carnatic music to global audiences. Accords Croisés, known for cross-cultural music productions, distributed the release in European and Indian markets.

No official documentation confirms the composer of Theeradha vilayattu pillai, and the tracklist does not specify lyrical authorship. The album itself comprises a mix of devotional and classical pieces, with Ragunathan accompanied by unnamed instrumentalists on violin, mridangam, and possibly tambura or veena. The production emphasizes acoustic recording techniques to preserve the tonal nuances of live Carnatic performance.

The 2005 release date positions Shakti among Ragunathan’s works following her Padma Shri award in 2004, a phase where she expanded her recorded output beyond concert archives. The track’s inclusion in the album reflects her selection of lesser-performed compositions alongside more widely recognized krithis. Further details about the recording sessions, such as location or additional personnel, are not publicly verified.
