{{Hindustani Classical Music infobox}}<br />
'''Dhamar''' is one of the [[tala (music)|tala]]s used in [[Hindustani classical music]] from the [[Indian subcontinent]]. It is associated with the [[dhrupad]] style and typically played on the [[pakhawaj]] and also tabla.<br />
<br />
Dhamar taal has 14 beats (''matra''s) grouped asymmetrically into a 5-2-3-4 pattern.<br />
<br />
A song in [[dhrupad]] style set to dhamar tala is also called a dhamar. The text of a dhamar concerns the antics of [[Krishna]] teasing the milkmaids during the ''[[Holi]]'' (''hori'') Spring Festival of colours. It is considered a relatively light, gentle, and romantic musical form.<br />
<br />
The ''theka'' or syllabic pattern of dhamar tala is: <br />
<pre><br />
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14<br />
क ध्धि ट धि ट धा ऽ ग त्ति ट ति ट ता ऽ<br />
ka ddhi Ta dhi Ta dhaa - Ga Ti Ta Ti Ta taa -<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
In counting out the beat, beats 1, 6, and 11 are clapped (''tali''), and beat 8 is indicated by a wave of the hand (''khali''):<br />
<br />
Clap 2 3 4 5 | Clap 2 | Wave 2 3 | Clap 2 3 4 ||<br />
<br />
Dhamar Tal is the name of a series of events (festivals) organised by Belgian entrepreneurs Michael Ender and Shaly Blits.<br />
