What’s the ragam of the thillana

Padma Shri Ms. Malavika Sarukkai is dancing to a thillana. What’s the ragam of that thillana starting at 0.37 ? I don’t think it’s hindolam

Ma'am,
There are three musical sections in this video. The first and third are the same tillana in the raga Hindolam.

The middle one is a different tillana in the raga Sindhu Bhairavi.

Hope this helps. By the way, a fine documentary. Thanks.

There was actually a DVD movie screening in HD I watched on Malavika Sarukkai. I later bought it as a download. Very well done. Begins with a scene filmed in Chidambaram temple where she dances in the middle of devotees etc. on a normal day. Very candid filming and no fuss. Great impact.

Thanks a lot. If I may say, it sounds from different from other hindolam thillana I heard . Even the lyrics are different . Any idea where can I listen this particular version ? Thanks in advance

A lot of tillanas are composed for specific artistes and their repertoire. You won't perhaps be able to get this one unless you approach Ms Sarukkai
