Ek Taal Theka

Ek Taal Theka Ek Taal, also spelled as Ektaal, is a 12-beat rhythmic cycle (or Taal) used in North Indian classical music. It is structured into six divisions (Vibhags) with each Vibhag containing two beats (Matras), following a pattern of 2+2+2+2+2+2. This symmetrical structure makes Ek Taal ideal for slow to medium-tempo compositions in classical forms like Khayal and instrumental performances
