A Tillana or thillana is a rhythmic piece in South Indian carnatic music that is generally performed at the end of a concert and widely used in classical Indian dance performances. It was popularised by M Balamuralikrishna, Lalgudi Jayaraman and some other musicians[1][2][3] A Tillana uses tala-like phrases in the pallavi and anupallavi, and lyrics in the charanam.
The thillana is based on the tarana which was introduced by Amir Khusrau (1253-1325 CE).[4]
