Taal Teen Taal | Ustad Zakir Hussain | Tabla Solo | Classical Archives by Shri. Diwakar Tole

Teen Taal is the most widely used tala (rhythmic cycle) in Hindustani classical music. It is a cycle of 16 beats, divided into four equal vibhags (sections) of 4 beats each. The sam (first beat) is emphasized, while the khali (empty beat) occurs on the 9th matra, giving the taal its balance and flow. Teen Taal is versatile, used in vilambit, madhya, and drut layas across khayal, instrumental, and dance performances. Its symmetrical structure makes it ideal for exploring layakari (rhythmic play), improvisation, and intricate patterns, making it the backbone of Hindustani rhythm.
