Upatala Jhampaka tala, also known as Rupam tala, is rare eight and half matra tabla tala. Although this tala, by matra number alone, may scare off someone playing this, this is essentially jhaptala with matras 8 to 10 compressed in one and half matras. Due to its flow, it is considered a khanda jati (since jhaptal is five matras), rather than a “neighboring catastra or sankirna jati.”
