Tintal (or teental, trital) is one of the most famous talas of Hindustani music. It is also the most common tal in North India. The structure of tintal is so symmetrical that it presents a very simple rhythmic structure against which a performance can be laid.^[1]

Arrangement

Tintal has sixteen (16) beats^[2] in four equal divisions (vibhag). The period between every two beats is equal. The first beat out of 16 beats is called "sam" and the 9th beat is called "khali" ("empty"). To exhibit the Teental, the audience claps on the first beat, claps on the 5th beat, then waves on the 9th beat and lastly again claps on the 13th beat — hence the name tintal : It derives from (Hindi, "tin") which means three and (Hindi, "tal")which means clap, so literally Tintal equals to "three claps"..

Cyclical series of equally periodical beats consisted of recurring claps and waves:

clap, 2, 3, 4, clap, 2, 3, 4, wave, 2, 3, 4, clap, 2, 3, 4

or counted out as:

clap, 2, 3, 4, clap, 6, 7, 8, wave, 10, 11, 12, clap 14, 15, 16

Uses Teen Taal can be used for both accompaniment and solo.There are various Kaidas and Parans for it

Theka

It has a characteristic pattern of bols (theka).

This can also be shown using the following figure^[2]

Bols	dha	dhin	dhin	dha	dha	dhin	dhin	dha	dha	tin	tin	ta	ta	dhin	dhin	dha

Note the bols used for the first beat of each division: Dhaa, a bol involving both hands, is played at the beginning of the first, second and final divisions; for the khali section, Naa – a right hand bol – is used to indicate that the division is open. There are some pedagogical variations as to the actual syllables pronounced when reciting the bol, most of which occur in the final two vibhags.
