Vishwamohini Script

While playing with Dupalli Chakradhar Tihai calculator of Vishwamohini, I discovered very interesting relationship between Dupalli Chakradhar Tihai and normal Tihai of Taal.

You can instantly convert normal Tihai of Taal into  Dupalli Chakradhar Tihai for same Taal without any calculations.

Here is the way to do that
1. First convert normal Tihai into Dupalli Tihai 
2. Play this Dupalli Tihai three times with Chakradhar gap equal to normal Tihai Gap, it means, Tihai Gap and Chakradhar gap will be same.

Lets take example of Teentaal Tihai, which goes like this
[melody start]
[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16][lyrics]
[D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8][tabla]
[D1|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-][tabla]
[melody end]
1. First convert normal Tihai into Dupalli Tihai 
In Dupalli Tihai, we will play last Palla of Tihai in half tempo with respect to fist two Pallas
[melody start]
[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16][lyrics]
[D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|-|D1|-][tabla]
[T4|-|T8|-|D1|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-][tabla]
[melody end]
2. Play this Dupalli Tihai three times with Chakradhar gap equal to normal Tihai Gap, it means, Tihai Gap and Chakradhar gap will be same.

In this case Tihai gap is 1 beat, so we will keep Chakradhar gap 1 beat.
[melody start]
[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16][lyrics]
[D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|-|D1|-][tabla]
[T4|-|T8|-|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8][tabla]
[D1|-|D1|-|D1|-|T4|-|T8|-|D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8][tabla]
[D1|-|D1|D1|T4|T8|D1|-|D1|-|D1|-|T4|-|T8|-][tabla]
[D1|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-][tabla]
[melody end]

You can apply this concept to any Tihai of Taal.
Hope you find this concept interesting
