Thillana (also called tillana) is a rhythmic piece in Carnatic music that is generally performed at the end of a concert and widely used in dance performances.[1][2][3] A thillana uses tala-like phrases in the pallavi and anupallavi, and lyrics in the charanam. Some have theorized that it is based on the Hindustani tarana.[4]
