Renu sundriyal 

To master the laya in Hindustani music, you can try these techniques:
  • Practice the Talam
    Talam is the practice of using hand movements to show rhythm. It's important to make your talam loud and audible, especially when you're first learning. 
     
  • Feel the rhythm
    Try to feel the rhythm throughout your body, and connect it to your vocal expressions. 
     
  • Understand the three types of laya
    The three main types of laya are Vilambit Laya (slow tempo), Madhya Laya (medium tempo), and Drut Laya (fast tempo). The difference between the types is based on the intervallic distances between two beats. 
     
Laya is the process of separating sounds by time. For example, if you clap for ten seconds, each clap will be spaced out by some amount of time.
