Lets learn about Tihai . . .

Tihai : In simple words, when phrase/syllables repeated three times, it is called as Tihai. The shortest Tihai could be.
[melody start]
[Dha|Dha|Dha][lyrics]
[S1|S1|S1][notations]
[melody end]

Where Dha/Sa is repeated three times. You can have Gap/Pause in between repetition of phrase.
For example :
[melody start]
[1|2|3|4][lyrics]
[S1|-|S1|-][notations]
[S1][notations]
[melody end]

In above example "Sa" is repeated three times with gap of 1 beat.In the third repetition last syllable of phrase "Sa" comes on first beat of taal.

In Tihai Calculator which we have developed to calculate Tihai & Chakradhar Tihai in any Taal starting from first beat. You will get results in the form

Palla : Palla is the Phrase (Number of beats) which will be repeated three times.
Gap/Pause : Pause is the number of empty beats between end of Palla & starting of next Palla in the Tihai.

Below is the example of Tihai in the Teen Taal having 16 beats rhythmic cycle, where Palla = 5 beats & Gap = 1 beat.
[melody start]
[Dha|Dhin|Dhin|Dha|Dha|Dhin|Dhin|Dha|Dha|Tin|Tin|Ta|Ta|Dhin|Dhin|Dha][lyrics]
[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16][lyrics]
[S1|S1|S1|S1|S1|-|S1|S1|S1|S1|S1|-|S1|S1|S1|S1][notations]
[S1][notations]
[melody end]

Formula to calculate Tihai is : [ 3 x Palla ] + [ 2 x Gap ] - 1. If we apply Tihai formula for above example : [ 3 x 5 Beats ] + [ 2 x 1 Beat ] - 1 = 16 Beats

Most important topic we learn in Tihai is "How to count gap?", so it is important to learn & master different Tihais.

Based on the gaps Tihais are categorized as :
1.Bedam Tihai : If there is no gap/pause between Palla of Tihai then it is called as Bedum Tihai.
2.Damdar Tihai : If there is gap/pause between repetition of Palla of Tihai then it is called as Damdar Tihai.
3.Anagat Tihai : If Tihai end before first beat of Taal then it is called as Anagat Tihai.
4.Atit Tihai : If Tihai ends after first beat of Taal then it is called as Atit tihai. 
5.Chakradhar Tihai : when Tihai is repeated three times it is called as Chakradhar Tihai.
