Question

Write any one Tala of 10 beats in Dugun Laya with Tala Notation System.

Hint:

Sooltala → 10 beats → Dugun = double speed → Balanced divisions.

Answer 1

Sooltala is a Hindustani classical music tala comprising 10 beats. It is divided into 5 sections, each containing 2 beats (2+2+2+2+2).
Basic Theka: Dha Dha | Dhin Dhin | Na Na | Tin Tin | Ta Ta.
Dugun Laya: signifies a doubling of each beat.
Sooltala Dugun Notation:
1. Dha Dha Dha Dha | Dhin Dhin Dhin Dhin | Na Na Na Na | Tin Tin Tin Tin | Ta Ta Ta Ta.
This structure maintains the tala’s integrity while demonstrating proficiency in rapid execution.
