{{Short description|Not symmetical Taal of Hindustaani Classical}}{{unreferenced|date=November 2009}}
'''Jhaptal''' is a [[Tala (music)|tala]] of [[Hindustani music]]. It presents quite a different rhythmical structure from [[Teental]], unlike which it is not symmetrical. It is used in madhyalay (medium-tempo) [[Khyal]].

==Arrangement==
Jhaptal is a 10-beat pattern used in raga exposition. It has ten beats in four divisions ([[vibhag]]), of 2-3-2-3, the third of which is the khali, or open division. To follow the tal the audience clap on the appropriate beat, which in jhaptal is beats 1, 3 and 8 (the first beat in each full division). A wave of the hand indicates beat 6, the first beat of the khali section.

Series of Claps and Waves:
clap, 2, clap, 2, 3, wave, 2, clap, 2, 3

==Theka==
The split for Jhaptaal : 2+3+2+3 che 4. 
In Devanagari : धी ना - धी धी ना -- ती ना - धी धी ना . 
It has a characteristic pattern of [[Bol (music)|bols]] (theka).

Note the bols used for the first beat of each division: Dhi, is played at the beginning of the first, second and final divisions; for the khali section, Na - a right hand bol - is used to indicate that the division is open.
