(Deepchandi, Chanchar, Chochar)
Description
Dipchandi also known as Chanchar or Chochar and is a moderately popular 14 beat tal in northern India. It may roughly be translated to mean “lamplight”. This tal is divided into four vibhags (measures) of 3, 4, 3 and 4 matras. These vibhags are denoted by a clap, clap, wave, and clap respectively.
Today, there are two common prakars of dipchandi. There is one which is used in film songs and light music and another which is used in semi-classical forms such as the thumri. The one which is used in thumri is general considered the “official” version, and is the one which is shown here.
