Virutham-Thillana

Virutham-Thillana is a Carnatic vocal composition performed by Sudha Ragunathan as the eighth track on her 2007 studio album Sudha Madhuri. The piece spans 8 minutes and 29 seconds, blending virutham (lyrical improvisation) with thillana (a rhythmic dance-form structure). The album was released under the Amutham label in CD format.

The track exemplifies Ragunathan’s interpretation of traditional Carnatic forms, though specific raga or tala details are not documented in the available context. Sudha Madhuri marks one of her mid-2000s releases, featuring a mix of classical and semi-classical compositions. The album’s production credits and accompanying artists remain unconfirmed in the provided information.

Ragunathan, a recipient of the Padma Bhushan (2015), is known for her contributions to Carnatic music through concert performances, recordings, and collaborations. The 2007 release aligns with her broader discography, which includes devotional, thematic, and experimental works within the classical tradition.
