For Bhajans or light songs do you play same Theka's for the whole song, or theka's and some other variation
e.g. for 8 beat Bhajan would you play
Dha Gi Na Ti Na K Dhin Na
through out the song. .

you can play variations on Bhajans as well. However the bhajans and ghazals have different thekas. sometimes ghazal thekas can be played in bhajans but not vice-versa.
Dha ge na ti na ke dhi na
is the typical and traditional bol of keherwa. this is hardly used by professionals.
bhajans typical bol is:
Dhin ta dhin dhindha-ti
tin ta tin dhindha-ti
most of the tabla players play this differently. therefore this theka does not have any fixed bols.(Bhajan)
