Chatarang is a very unique type of composition based in a particular raga. “Chata” means four & “rang” means colours or shades. Therefore, this type of composition has four different facets in its content:
Lyric
Swaras or notes, which can either be the ascent and descent of the raga or simply the pakad of the raga
Tarana words or syllables like dir-dir, tanom, tadare
Tabla or pakhwaj bol like dhirkit, tirkit
Chatarang compositions are set to any tala & and are sung like any other compositions in madhya laya or drut laya.
