Rule for Three Cycle Chakardar

Rule for Three Cycle Chakardar

We can make Chakardar in many ways using different calculations or layas but here we are explaining only the method in which we use 2 matra pauses. For a three-cycle chakardar, we have to less 1 from the total number of matras of the taal in which we want to play chakardar, and what the answer will come is the number of the beats required for the one cycle or palla of the chakardar. For example, if we want to play chakardar in Jhaptaal (10 Matra) we have to use 9 matra compositions (Tihai included). When we play this 9 matra composition three times with the gap of 2 Matras it will complete in 31 Matras. Same as this we can make different chakardars for different Taals.

JHAPTAAL(10 MATRA)

EXAMPLE: DHATIDHAGE  DHATIDHAGE | DHINAGINA DHA-DHATI DHAGEDHINA | GINADHA- DHATIDHAGE | DHINAGINA DHA---  1   |  2  DHATIDHAGE | DHATIDHAGE DHINAGINA DHA-DHATI | DHAGEDHINA GINADHA- | DHATIDHAGE DHINAGINA DHA --- | 1     2   | DHATIDHAGE DHATIDHAGE DHINAGINA | DHA-DHATI DHAGEDHINA | GINADHA- DHATIDHAGE DHINAGINA |   DHA

(Note:- Using this method you can check yourself while playing it. The first pause of 2 beats comes on the last beat of the first cycle and the first beat of the second cycle. The second 2 beats pause comes on the first two beats of the third cycle of the taal.)

You can arrange chakardar for 5 to 16 matra or beat with the following calculations:-

Rule for 5 Matra : 4 Matra composition with 2 matra pause.

Rule for 6 Matra : 5 Matra composition with 2 matra pause.

Rule for 7 Matra : 6 Matra composition with 2 matra pause.

Rule for 8 Matra : 7 Matra composition with 2 matra pause.

Rule for 9 Matra : 8 Matra composition with 2 matra pause.
