Different Tals, theka and a few lines

Taal - different types

Welcome to Tabla wiki. I was thinking of introducing you about different taals. In tabla, there are so many taals of different avartan/bibhag etc. that if someone masters all those, he or she will be definitely a master of math! I am serious. When the tabla player recites the taal with tali and khali with different lays in hand notation, it needs immense concentration. Calculation of time, circle of avartan and so many other things have to be kept in mind. I am going to list different taals with thekas. I am hopeful that the readers will be benefited.
