The richness of Indian music lies in its sentiments of the Rasa, that springs rhythmic patterns called as the Taal, and each Taal has its own thrilling effects of excitement, which acts on its own way upon all human beings.

Only a few out of many obscure Taals current at present, Ada Chowtal is one of such. That was formerly common and popular all musicians even a few decades ago. Unfortunately, due to lack of practice and non-availability of the traditional compositions set in this Taal, it is now on the way of its extinction.

Illustrious essays or the Gata are exhibited in this little book. Though rare,they also represent the cultural heritage of the traditionalists of the by-gone days. Ten parent scales excluding the male Puriya-Dhanashree of the modern system of music are illustrated at length in the text.

The present work is a concise presentation of Rezakhani Baj on a few melodious Raagas-all set only in Ada Chowtal. It covers the courses of studies as prescribed by different Universities for their various examinations in music. The compositions are symbolic by itself. Hence, the awakening of the latent talents in all lovers of Sitar of all times.

This is the only rare book of reference to Poorav Baj in Ada Chowtal.
