2All three versions of the rag desh feature a [blank_start]tala[blank_end], or a rhythmic pattern. The first note of the tala is called a [blank_start]sam[blank_end], and this tala is typically played on the [blank_start]tabla[blank_end]. Sometimes, however, complex rhythms are independent of the beat, and these are called [blank_start]Bols[blank_end].
Version 1 of the Rag Desh uses the [blank_start]Jhaptal[blank_end] (10) and the Tintal ([blank_start]16[blank_end]), version 2 uses the [blank_start]Keherwa[blank_end] (8), and version 3 uses the [blank_start]Rupak[blank_end] (7) and Ektal ([blank_start]12[blank_end]).- Atala

6Every [blank_start]rag[blank_end] has a specific purpose, being played during some time of the day or during some [blank_start]season[blank_end]. The rag desh is typically played during the [blank_start]night[blank_end] and during [blank_start]monsoon[blank_end] season.
