Jaya Super Singer South India (Then India Isai Kuyilgalin Saranaalayam) is a reality-based Indian singing competition in the Tamil language that is being aired on Jaya TV. The program seeks to discover playback singing talent in South India. The show is sponsored by Ramco Cements & Ramco Supergrade, and powered by The Chennai Silks and co-presented by NAC Jewellers.

The show debuted on 20 September 2014, airing on weekend nights at 8:00pm on Jaya TV. The final episode was telecast on 30 August 2015.

Season 1 of the show is directed by MS Senthil Kumar.

The open auditions, the first stage in determining a seasons finalists, were conducted in the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala. During this stage, contestants sing a song or two before a panel of preliminary state audition judges. This panel then decides on-the-spot whether the contestant demonstrated enough ability and performance value to proceed further. If the contestant exhibited exceptional ability in their performance, judges award a "ticket" moving them instantly one step forward in the competition. Alternatively, if judges are on the fence about the singer, they will place the contestant on a waitlist until the end of that day's auditions. Otherwise, if the contestant lacks the ability and performance value to proceed further, the contestant will be rejected.

In the second and final stage of the audition process, contestants shortlisted from the open auditions arrive in a central location in Chennai. They are expected to perform a song or two before a different panel of judges with a view of being selected as top 20 finalists of the show.

For this stage of the process, the program host asserts that it is distinct from other reality shows as it does not embarrass unsuccessful contestants in the show by actively 'rejecting' them on the spot; rather, it actively encourages contestants in this stage to continue to improve their singing skills.

Again, this panel then decides on-the-spot whether the contestant demonstrated enough ability and performance value to proceed further. If the contestant exhibited exceptional ability in their performance, judges award a "green card" shortlisting them instantly one step forward in the competition towards finalist selection. Otherwise, if judges are on the fence about the singer, they will ask the contestant to wait for a decision at the end of the final level auditions.
