Jhaptal Theka Variations

Note: The variations below are from Chhotelal Misra. The spoken bols are slightly different than the standard jhaptal theka in the last section, though they are played the same:

  • dhī = dhin / धी = धिं
  • tī = tin / ती = तिं

The jhaptal theka is commonly spoken in both ways.

If you are learning from DigiTabla, I suggest using the bols below, both for the standard theka and variations.
