Jhaptal – Benares Nauhakka 1 Overview
This nauhakka does not have even pauses between all 9 repetitions, so some may call this a chakradar tihai. And if we think of it as a chakradar, then it is easier to remember.
If we divide the 9 repetitions into 3 groups of 3, then we can more easily see that there is a pause between the repetitions within each group of 3, but no pause between the larger groups of 3.
