Anudhrutam is the smallest rhythmic unit in Carnatic music, consisting of a single beat (one matra). It is performed as a single clap with no finger counting or additional actions. Anudhrutam is less commonly used than Laghu and Dhrutam, but it appears in some talams where a short, singular beat is needed. Its presence helps in maintaining tempo stability while allowing rhythmic variations in compositions.
