RR,
Cool work. Thanks for the audio.
As far as I know there are only few thillanas in Kambodhi and none has attained the master piece status in thillana arena. It might be because this raga gives excellent scope for long & big compositions and thus the present/recent past composers are scared to compose one in this raga. Though there is one Nadanai (Composed by Smt. Nagamani S. Rao), they are mainly used in Dance performances and does not carry any value on vocal performances. Violin & Flute are the best to perform thillanas. You can see that to sing thillana you need not have excellent tala & Jathi ngyanam. Fery few singers are performing thillanas now days as they are just "replay" guys with not much knowledge in handling those. At this point I should mention the greatness of Mali(flute) in handling difficult thalas. Now I could see seshagopalan doing his best to cope up.

I don't know if there are any popular ones in Kambodhi. But I have seen people in my town practicing dance with some thillanas on it, but I dont think it is worth mentioning it as I strongly feel that they are just written and tuned by people out there for their convenience and lacks great musical value.

Indrajith
what is the meaning of these terms? Chaya swaram,Nyaya swaram and Dheeraga swaram.
Chaya Swaram: ma, dha and ni
Nyasa Swaram: ga, ma, pa, dha
Dheerga Swaram: ga, pa, dha
I assume by this
Gamaka Swaram: All Swarams.
you mean that all 7 notes can be used for singing gamakams?
WHat is meaning of the term "stayi"?

viggop,
chaya swarams are the swaras which are responsible for the characteristic melody of a raga. Naysa swarams where the performer can stay or the swaram on which the raaga can end. Dheerga Swarams are those which can be played on long notes.
Stayi means octave. There are 5 sthayis Viz., Anumandra, Mandra, Madhya, Tara, and Atitara. A singer can sing almost 3 stayis(Mandra, Madhya, Tara).Though, Yesudas tries some with his false voice.Even a phrase with same swaras like sa sa sa sa ri ri ri ri or like sa ri sa, ri ga ri is also called as stayi.I have never heard any singer singing these 3 stayis with ease. Might be Balamurali looks okie.Parveen Sultana is a jewel when she sings in Tara stayis. Generally the singers scope is likefrom Mandhra Stayi Panchamam to Tara stayi Panchamam. Instruments like Violin etc. can be played in 5 stayis.
Hope I made myself clear.

Regarding Gamakams, Yes you assumed it right. All the swaras can be used with gamakams, i.e. All swarams can oscillate.
This concept of playing anuswarams in a row to achieve gamakams are really a cool one in Carnatic music.
