Lata Mangeshkar (1929-2022)

Her voice had become the benchmark of excellence and purity.

She was always the voice of virtue.

Her melodious voice will continue to reside in all of us.

Jhaptal is a 10-beat pattern used in raga exposition. It has ten beats in four divisions (vibhag), of 2-3-2-3, the third of which is the khali, or open division. To follow the tal the audience clap on the appropriate beat, which in jhaptal is beats 1, 3 and 8 (the first beat in each full division). A wave of the hand indicates beat 6, the first beat of the khali section.
