कथक नृत्य में, “जाति” (Jāti) ताल (ताल) के विभिन्न प्रकारों को संदर्भित करता है, जो बोल (बोल) और लय (लय) के संयोजन के आधार पर होते हैं, और इन्हें मुख्य रूप से पाँच प्रकारों में वर्गीकृत किया गया है: त्रिश्र, चतुश्र, खण्ड, मिश्र और संकीर्ण.
- त्रिश्र (Tishra): 3 मात्राओं का ताल.
- चतुश्र (Chatushra): 4 मात्राओं का ताल.
- खण्ड (Khanda): 5 मात्राओं का ताल.
- मिश्र (Mishra): 7 मात्राओं का ताल.
- संकिरणा (Sankirna): 9 मात्राओं का ताल.
In Kathak dance, “Jati” refers to a unit of rhythm, specifically the arrangement of syllables (bols) against the number of beats (matras) to measure musical time, with five main varieties: Tishra, Chatushra, Khanda, Mishra, and Sankeerna.
-

- Sankeerna Jati: Nine syllables in one beat.
Bol Jati and Laya JatiJati can be further divided into Bol Jati (rhythmic patterns based on syllables) and Laya Jati (rhythmic patterns based on the speed of the rhythm.
In the context of Kathak dance and Hindustani music, “Bol Jati” refers to rhythmic divisions based on syllables, while “Laya Jati” refers to rhythmic divisions based on tempo or speed.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:-
Bol Jati (Syllable-Based):
- Bol Jati focuses on the rhythmic patterns created by specific syllables or “bols” within a beat
These patterns are used to create different rhythmic variations and complexities within a musical or dance composition.Examples of Bol Jati include Tishra Jati (3 syllables in one beat), Chatushra Jati (4 syllables in one beat), Khanda Jati (5 syllables in one beat), Mishra Jati (7 syllables in one beat), and Sankeerna Jati (9 syllables in one beat).
- Bol Jati focuses on the rhythmic patterns created by specific syllables or “bols” within a beat
-
Laya Jati (Tempo-Based):
- Laya Jati focuses on the speed or tempo of the rhythm, rather than the number of syllables within a beat.
Laya can be slow (Vilambit Laya), medium (Madhyam Laya), or fast (Drut Laya).Laya Jati is used to create a sense of flow and movement within the musical or dance composition.The interplay of Laya and Bol Jati creates a complex and nuanced rhythmic structure in Kathak and Hindustani music.
- Laya Jati focuses on the speed or tempo of the rhythm, rather than the number of syllables within a beat.
In summary, Bol Jati is about the rhythmic patterns formed by syllables, while Laya Jati is about the tempo or speed of the rhythm, both contributing to the overall rhythmic structure of a Kathak or Hindustani musical piece -
- Tishra Jati: Three syllables (bols) in one beat.
