There is no &quot;anga&quot; change, repetition and Sangati in gītaṃ. Gītaṃs usually have 10/12 avarthanams.<br /> <br /> Though gītaṃs have no absolutely defined divisions of [[pallavi]], [[anupallavi (music)|anupallavi]] or charanas, they may be observed in some cases. Some gītaṃs contain sections rather than the defined divisions (pallavi etc.). They often have no sangatis or variations, with each [[swara]] taking one syllable of the sahitya. The gītaṃ is sung without repetition from the beginning to end. However most gītaṃs are concluded by repeating a portion of the opening part. Gītaṃs are set in medium tempo and contain no &#039;&#039;saṃgatis&#039;&#039; or variations and the flow of the music is natural. The theme of the &#039;&#039;sāhityaṃ&#039;&#039; (lyrics) is to praise God. Students learn these gītaṃs after attaining a course in the preliminary saraḷī svarās and alaṃkārās.<br /> <br /> ==Types of gītaṃs==<br /> There are three types of gītaṃs in Carnatic music tradition: <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Sāmānya gītaṃ&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;: the simple song and it is also called sādhāraṇa gītaṃ or sancāri gītaṃ. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Lakshaṇa gītaṃ&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;: the &#039;&#039;sāhityaṃ&#039;&#039; (lyrics), instead of praising God, enumerates in so many words, the lakshana of the raga, in which it is composed-giving among other details, its vakra svarā, graha, nysa, aṃśa svarā and its parent raga ([[melakarta|mēḷakarta]] rāga). Most lakshaṇa gītaṃs have been composed by [[Purandara Dasa]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.karnatik.com/glossg.shtml Royal Carpet: Glossary of Carnatic Terms G&lt;!-- Bot generated title --&gt;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Suladi gītaṃ&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;:<br /> <br /> ==Some well known gītaṃs==<br /> #&#039;&#039;Vara Vīṇā Mr̥dupāṇi&#039;&#039; ([[Sanskrit]]) in [[Mohanam]] Raga (Janya of 28th Mela [[Harikambhoji]]) - Rupaka Tala<br /> #&#039;&#039;Śrī Gaṇanātha (Laṃbōdara)&#039;&#039; ([[Sanskrit]]) in [[Malahari]] Rāga (Janya of 15th Mela [[Mayamalavagowla]]) - Chathushruti Jati Rupaka Tala<br /> #&#039;&#039;Analekara&#039;&#039; in [[Shuddha Saveri]] Raga (Janya of 29th Mela [[Dheerasankarabharanam|Sankarabharanam]]) - Tisra Jati Triputa Tala<br /> #&#039;&#039;Kamala Jaḍala&#039;&#039; (Telugu) in [[Mechakalyani|Kalyani]] Rāga 65th [[Melakarta|Mēḷakarta]] Rāga)- Tisra Jati Triputa Tala<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/shivkuma/personal/music/varnams/index.html Sivakumar Carnatic Music Archive Geetam collection] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116060619/http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/shivkuma/personal/music/varnams/index.html |date=16 January 2009 }}<br /> *[http://pulijalas.com/music/ The Pulijalas]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Carnatic music]]<br /> [[Category:Carnatic music terminology]]</div>
