Tin Tin Na | Dhin Na | Dhin Na[1]
Prakar
Prakars are fairly open to the individual performer's flair. That being said, however, the following is an example of three common Rupak Tala prakars.
Tin Tin Na | Dhin NaNa | Dhin NaNa[2]
Tin Tin Na | Dha Dha Tirkit | Dha Dha Tirkit
Tin Tin Nana | Dhirkt NaNa | Dhirkt NaNa

Dhamar is one of the talas used in Hindustani classical music from the Indian subcontinent. It is associated with the dhrupad style and typically played on the pakhawaj.
Dhamar taal has 14 beats (matras) grouped asymmetrically into a 5-2-3-4 pattern.
A song in dhrupad style set to dhamar tala is also called a dhamar. The text of a dhamar concerns the antics of Krishna teasing the milkmaids during the Holi (hori) Spring Festival of colours. It is considered a relatively light, gentle, and romantic musical form.
The theka or syllabic pattern of dhamar tala is:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
