Jaati Adavu In Bharatanatyam part 2 (video)

August 24th, 2009 by Anjali

This video demonstrates the Chatushra Jati and Khanda Jati. Chatushra Jati has 3 syllables (beats) Ta Ka Dhi Mi. Khanda Jati has 5 syllables (beats) Ta Ka Taa Ki Ta.

Chatushra Jati can be done in two ways.

1. As we begin with the right side, tap your leg once and raise it on the toes for Ta. Then let the feet fall flat on floor for Ka. Lift the left feet and place it on the toes for Dhi. Let the feet fall flat on the floor for Mi.

2. As we begin with the right side, tap your leg once for Ta. Again Tap the same feet for Ka. Lift the left feet and place it on the toes for Dhi. Let the feet fall flat on the floor for Mi.

    @Bindya, the basic hand movements for ta ka dhi mi will be holding a kapitta in your right and the other hand in dola. Ta ki ta can be done in three ways, so I have used one of the methods to show the step Ta ka ta ki ta, where i takita can be any of the three.
