Class 6 Visual Arts Kriti-I Taal or Talam and Raga or Ragam in Indian Music question answer
A taal is divided into vibhags (sections) to help performers maintain rhythm. Each vibhag has a specific number of matras (beats), and some are emphasized using Tali (clap) while others are softer with Khali (wave). These divisions make the rhythmic cycle easy to follow in tabla, vocal, and dance performances. Different taals have different vibhag structures. For example, Teen Taal (16 beats) has four vibhags, while Dadra Taal (6 beats) has two.
