Tilak Kamod so similar to raag Des, it is difficult for my untrained ears to distinguish between two. Tilak Kamod has the same notations as Des, the subtle difference is which note is stressed. I should not even offer my lack of knowledge when cogent analysis by Mr. Rajan Parrikar is available.
Raga Tilak Kamod
Nomenclature in Hindustani music can be misleading for there is neither hide nor hair of Kamod in Tilak Kamod. Tilak Kamod works with the same raw material used to fashion Des. The resulting dichotomy resoundingly demonstrates the signal possibilities in the very notion of Raga: a chalan-bheda within a swara set may lead to a radically different melodic organism of equal or more beauty. Indian music, it should be obvious to even freshly-born babies, has no equal in its intellectual depth, range and beauty.
Very nice. I have learned a little from Mr Rajan Parrikar's impressive website, but with "obvious to even freshly born-babies" he is patently having a giraffe.

she is using both nishads so it sounds more like Desh. Also her niyaas on the shudh nishaad is uncharacteristic of Tilak kamod. does not work for me.

@themynahbird1 - True, but as you said some, only some similarities are there - at the least because both are of same that. Both are very beautiful, melodic ragas. Hats off to those who composed these immortal works.

Tilak Kamod and Des are very different. Ascent is the same for Des and TK, however in descent, TK moves in the order of Sa Pa, (Sa straight to Pa without Dha or Ni) so it goes..Sa Pa Dha Ma Pa Ga, Re Ga Sa.
Clear distinction happens on the descent and erases the mood of Des. but like a wonderful surprise, one mus reach for Dha on the descent. It is a very subtle element and used very sparingly. Hope this helps! This is a beautiful recording.
