Its all about mathematics & compositions & improvisations between the Sam (1st beat) to Sam. here they start in slow 16 beat cycle (vilambit teental) & then progress into a 7 beat cycle (rupak tal) & then 16 beats drut tintal ( fast to very fast) When the sarod player plays lahara ( the fixed gat or melody of the raga) the Tabla player can solo & play what he feels like and he always comes back to the tal on Sam (1st beat) Ths is the general rule of this music. Tal is fixed by the melody player.

@MrBassxtrm Thank you for your correction, of course Lahara would only be used in a tabla solo and gat is used when the melodic player gives the tabla player a solo in this context, I also accept that the tabla player is playing his compositions as determined by his knowledge,guru, gharana etc and in a developing fashion so when i mentioned he could do what he wants i was being liberal with my speech, but thanks anyway as i'm sure these comments will benefit other viewers. Cheers Bhilaj

@bhilaj Very nice summary! May I add, respectfully, that Amjadji does not play lahara here, but a short gat instead. Also, when the tabla "improvises" it does it in an organized manner (uthaan, peshkar, kayada, etc), and not playing what the tabla player feels like. Of course he chooses the compositions, but they're fixed ones; similar to what in melodic instruments or vocal music would be the Taans. ^^

@bethells86 I am no pandit at all, but may be I can contribute with something: Remember that Ahir Bhairav is a compose raga (Ahiri + Bhairav); hence, it may show character of both, plus its own chalan (a resource called bhaav-tirobhaav). Hope it helps =)
