What it is

An encyclopedia article on the mridangam, whose section on talam says that combining the tala families, jatis and gatis gives 175 possible talas.

Why it is useful here

Source for the figure of 175 possible talas (35 talas times five gatis).

Used on these pages

Verification

Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the page; the 'Talam (Rhythmic Cycle)' section says there are a total of 175 possible combinations, formed from talas, jathi and gati. Only that sentence is used.

Type at least two letters. Try a raga name, a tala, or a word like "gamaka".
