Yes Vijayasankar,
From your description and the name it is likely to be Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Kamala'
The name கமலாப்பழம்  is often found but only applied to the species Citrus reticulata Blanco. That's fair, however "Kamala" is a cultivar. One can see a parallel with the Mosambi story.
A cultivar name is transferred to the species, and then other species for all sorts of twisted reasons.
Here is what I have compiled. I leave it up to the experts in the group to cross out the wrong names and / or correct the spelling mistakes.
