Which talanga corresponds to counting two laghus with beat?

• A. Anudritha U
• B. Guru 8
• C. Laghu I
• D. Kakapada

Answer: (B)

The pattern being tested is how rhythm cycles are built using laghu and guru in a tala. A laghu is a subdivided beat, and a full beat or cycle is completed when a guru occurs after counting the laghu’s subdivisions. If you count two laghu units, you’re spanning eight sub-beats in the common cyclic framework, so the notation that captures that eight-count structure is guru with the number eight. That’s why the best answer is guru 8. The other terms describe different rhythmic patterns or single laghu units (like Laghu I), and don’t express the eight-subdivision cycle created by two laghus.
