Verification
Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the page; its HTML title is 'Practice four widely used Carnatic talas - carnaticstudent'. It gives Adi as 8 syllables, Misra chapu as 7 ('ta ki ta | ta ka dhi mi') and Khanda chapu as 5 ('ta ka | ta ki ta'). It does not describe the hand actions in text (a separate PDF sheet is linked, which was not read).
