Three-Part Structure
Ragam (alapana) explores the raga without rhythm. Tanam introduces rhythmic pulse through syllables. Pallavi presents a composed line for improvisation.
Pallavi Improvisation
The pallavi line becomes foundation for niraval (melodic variation) and swarakalpana (solmization). Extended improvisation may continue for considerable duration.
Percussion Solo
Tani avartanam (percussion solo) typically follows the pallavi section. This extended solo showcases mridangam and supporting percussion before reuniting on sam.
