  1. Chaturashra Jaati Rupaka Talam consists of six beats, structured as one Dhrutam (2 beats) followed by one Chaturashra Jaati Laghu (4 beats). The total cycle of 6 matras makes it a balanced rhythmic structure in Carnatic compositions. Due to its even beat structure, this tala is widely used in bhajans, varnams and kritis, providing a steady tempo that helps musicians maintain a fluid and engaging rhythm.
