Tisra Rupakam-SankeerNa Nadai- 16 Aksharam talli eduppu (as informed by them before starting RTP) - If someone explains this, it would be better.

I was not at the concert, so this is mere speculation as to what it would have been....45 sub beat counts grouped into 5 main beats....

Viloma thisra rupakam, sankirna nadai would be like this

| - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - || - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - -||
^ ^
| arudhi would normally be anchored here

Eduppu after 16 sub-beat counts, on the 17th sub-beat

One can not trust people to use terms like aksharam etc. in any standard way, so the above is just my interpretation based on context. If this is not what actually they sang, please provide corrections.
