What it is

An introduction to tala on a long-running community site: the three common angas, the seven suladi families with five jati variants giving 35 talas, the chapu talas with their unit groupings, and the idea of gati or nadai.

Why it is useful here

A third independent account of the 35-tala scheme and of the chapu groupings; it has a typo (it says '7 jatis' beside a list of five) that this site notes.
