In Hinduism
Gitashastra (science of music)
Bhaṅgatāla (भङ्गताल) refers to one of the three Tāla-classifications of Dhruvā-gāna.—[...] Though belonged to the mārga tradition, Dhrūvā-gāna included some tālas which were employed in nāṭya and yet not described in Nāṭyaśāstra. These tālas were classified as bhaṅga, upabhaṅga and vibhaṅga-tālas. These have not been mentioned by Bharata, but they are still considered to be a part of mārga. They do not belong to the deśī tradition.
M. R. Kavi also gives a list of tālas associated with Dhruvāgāna. The Bhaṅgatālas are:
- cañcatpuṭa;
- cācapuṭa;
- ṣaṭpitāputraka;
- sampakveṣṭāka;
- helā;
- trigatā;
- narkuṭa;
- narkuṭī;
- khañjaka;
- khañjikā;
- ākrīḍitā;
- vilambita;
Gitashastra (गीतशास्त्र, gītaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of Music (gita or samgita), which is traditionally divided in Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance (under the jurisdiction of music). The different elements and technical terms are explained in a wide range of (often Sanskrit) literature.
