1. Raag BHUPALI uses only 5 notes in ascending and descending.

2. All the notes are pure (normal). Neither Komal (flat) nor Tivra (sharp).

3. Pluck Da & Ra alternate (not shown).

4. View video to understand better

5. A dot after the note shows higher octave

6. A dot before the note will show lower octave.

7. This Gat (composition) and Toda are in TEEN TAAL, which is 16 Beats and is written at 3rd row.

8. To start the Toda 5, first play Gat – Sthai (as in lesson 7) from start i.e. 12th beat till 16th beat and then start Toda from X.

9. In the end of the Toda 5, from 1 to 16 beats, there is a Tihai (triplet – repeating three times – in light purple color), which is so composed that it will merge with Gat – Sthai at X – sum – joining, and then continue playing rest of the Gat – Sthai from X till 11 and then till 16.

10. Play Toda 6 similarly. In this Toda Tihai is from 9 to 16 beats (in light purple color).

11. View video several times to understand clearly. Due to limitation on file size Toda 6 is not displayed.
