Aad Laya or Layakari : "Aad" in Hindi means "one and a half", referring to a rhythmic pattern or sequence that works at one and a half times the speed of the original rhythm.For instance, if the original taal is played in a standard time signature, aad layakari would involve playing the same pattern but fitting it into one and a half times the usual space, effectively creating a complex and intricate rhythmic pattern.
