Question

Write any one Tala of 10 beats in Dugun Laya with Tala Notation System.

Hint:

Sooltala → 10 beats → Dugun = double speed → Balanced divisions.

Answer 1

Sooltala is a 10-beat tala used in Hindustani classical music.
It has 5 Vibhags of 2 beats each (2+2+2+2+2).
Basic Theka: Dha Dha | Dhin Dhin | Na Na | Tin Tin | Ta Ta.
Dugun Laya: means every beat is doubled.
Sooltala Dugun Notation:
1. Dha Dha Dha Dha | Dhin Dhin Dhin Dhin | Na Na Na Na | Tin Tin Tin Tin | Ta Ta Ta Ta.
This pattern keeps the tala’s structure clear while showing double-speed skill.
