Twenty-eight matras, commonly grouped as four vibhags of seven — a giant among talas, at the outer edge of living practice. Cycles this long survive only through layered grouping: sevens built from smaller cells, landmarks memorized like geography, sam tracked as a destination rather than a pulse.
It appears in pakhawaj-side and dance traditions and in solo work as deliberate summitry — material is presented plainly so the audience can follow the vast avartan. The name invokes the creator god; the function is to demonstrate that tala scales to any horizon if the grouping holds.
