A varṇam set iṇ aṭṭa thāḷa which usually has the same structures of other varṇams for example the pallavi, anupallavi and mukthāyiswara in the poorvānga or first half and the charaṇam and chittaswaras in the utharāngam. The edduppu in most starts at the ring finger. This may be due to the fact that nattuvanār’s in those days created these varṇams for dance and gave space for a cue from the beginning of the thāla equivalent to “thalānguthakadhiku-thaka-tharikitathom”
