Carnatic rhythm, made visible
Theermani turns tala, jathi, eduppu, theermanam, and korvai into a playable map. Set the cycle, shape the phrase, and practise the landing.
01 / Purpose
A cadence is not just a total. It starts at a precise point, crosses a living tala cycle, and resolves into samam or eduppu. Theermani keeps those relationships on one surface while you listen.
02 / One connected flow
No detached calculators. Every choice updates the same rhythmic route.
Choose tala, jathi, subdivision, and eduppu. The cycle becomes the fixed reference for everything that follows.
Build a repeated theermanam or an ordered korvai. Phrase length and karvai become visible inside the cycle, not as isolated numbers.
Play the full tala, follow the hand cue, and see whether the final matra prepares the intended landing.
03 / Practice surfaces
Hear the cycle, follow each kriya, and internalise the relationship between beat and matra.
Repeat one measured phrase, place its karvai, and work backwards from a clear destination.
Arrange independent phrase blocks into a longer line and test the complete arithmetic before playing it.
04 / Learn as you build
Start with tala, matra, jathi, eduppu, and landing. The glossary then connects them to phrase design and korvai structure.
