Tin Tin Na | Dhin Na | Dhin Na[1]
Prakar

Tin Tin Na | Dha Dha Tirkit | Dha Dha Tirkit

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.
