For example Malhar festival, Basant festival, Kajri festival, Thumri festival, Bhakti festival, Dhrupad festival etc. Chakradar is a special composition in Tabla and Pakhawaj… Chakradar’s source of origin is Tihai. .. If seen, the big and developed form of the third is Chakradar… which can be seen in ordinary Chakradar, Farmaishi Chakradar, Kamali Chakradar and Nauhakka. In the present times, hardly any artist has remained untouched by Chakradar in musical performance… Be it Tantra instrument artist or singing style, knowingly or unknowingly they use it. From a philosophical point of view, Chakradar means circumambulation. Even if you want to circumambulate a holy place, there is a law to do it 3 times. Three have special significance in Indian culture, be it electron, proton or neutron or Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Bholenath’s favorite weapon Trishul is also of three heads. Trishul is the symbol of three gunas Sattva, Raj and Tama. It is difficult to operate the universe without creating harmony between these three. That’s why Shiva held these three qualities in his hands in the form of a trident. It is seen as creation, nurturer and destruction. Along with past, present and future, it is also considered an indicator of earth, heaven and underworld. These three sorrows, physical, divine and physical, are known as Tritap. Also the goddesses are three Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati. Similarly, number 3 has special importance in the special creations of Tabla, Pakhawaj and Nritya, which is inspired by the philosophy of life. Which is reflected in various lyrical and poetic compositions in Chakradar.
