Tilwada Taal

In this Taal, there are 16 Beats (Matras). The first Thali falls on the 1st beat called Sam (X) and then on the 5th 13th Beat, The Khali (O) falls on the 9th Beat. There are four divisions. 

This Taal is a form of Teen Taal which is played in Vilambit Laya. It is similar to Teen Taal in all respects except the Bols. 

It is used in Vilambit Khayal. It is not played in Solo-recitals. This Taal was conceptualized after Teen Taal. It must have been popularized after the advent of Vilambit Khayal. There is not much scope in this taal except for the Theka and some Tihais. 

It is a Sam-Pad Taal. The Chhand Form is 4/4/4/4.
