Cala
In a broad sense, the term generally conveys 'the way' or 'the style.' However, it might specifically pertain to the 'style' of Dhrupada as opposed to the style of Ṭhumrī. For instance, one could discuss a straightforward Cāla or a intricate Cāla when referring to the manner, or describe it as a slow Cāla or a fast Cāla when considering the tempo. Furthermore, when Cāla takes on the meaning of style, it can be used to distinguish between styles, such as the Seniyā style as opposed to the Masīdkhānī style. Although both Cāla and Calana stem from the same root meaning 'to move,' their terminological application differs, albeit subtly.
