Chhanda Alankar arises when varnas or note-groups are used in various rhythmic patterns or figures. If they are related to a taala or a specific time cycle, they may be called taala-samparkit.
For example, a seven-beat configuration such as SRG SRGM, RGM RGMP, etc., may be incorporate in a taala either in simple layakari or in cross-rhythm. This would be taala-related chhandaalankaar.
However, if there is no connection with any taala, chhandaalankaar may be said to be taalaasamparkit. Thus, if, say, a four-note varna SRGM is executed in different ways but within the same time duration ,by creating new figures each time, there is chhandaalankaar of the taala-asamparkit variety .
