As for the Maulau Ganga mistake, i actually cut & paste. Thanks for the clarification.

Yes I saw the review. It does not say how the tALa was played but rather how the sAhitya was distributed. I want to know if the tALa was played as "takiTa taka dhimi taka" or "taka takiTa taka dhimi".

Dr. Shrikanth,

TM Krishna put sankIrna chApu starting with the 1.5 akshara portion i.e., "takiTa taka dhimi taka".

Ram

Ram
Thanks for clarifying. I remember hearing in a lecdem(?) in B'lore that its structure is "taka takiTa taka dhimi" which is lie a khaNDa cApu followed by 2 caturaSra beats. But I have heard of musicians(like Krishna here) singing with the takiTa beat in the beginning. This is why I asked. Would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Dr. Shrikanth,

While playing it in my mridangam classes, I used to play it with the 1.5 akshara portion first which is how TMK also put the talam. I am not sure if there is any other place where the tAlam should be started from while putting it. It would be good to hear views of some experts on this.

Regards,
Ram
