Visnu tala is a rare seventeen matra tala from the pakhawaj tradition. This tala builds on the catastra jati of talas, due to its primarily even divisions. Since tintal of sixteen matras is the highest number of matras most commonly used today, this tala of seventeen matras up to the tala with one-hundred eight matras make the range of the most obscure talas.
