What it is
An article on the seven-family tala system: the three angas, the five jatis, and a table giving the anga formula of every one of the 35 talas, with notes on gati and tempo.
Why it is useful here
Its full table of 35 formulas was compared with the generated structure, tala by tala, and its default laghu lengths show which jati a bare tala name means.

Verification
Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the page; its HTML title is 'Tala System - Online Bharatanatyam' and it is signed as an article by Shri Ajay and Smt Aarthy Ananthnarayanan. All 35 formulas were parsed and compared: 35 of 35 agree. The article loosely says 'jati or chapu' and has some typos, so it is used for its table only.
