Tana varnam
Tana varnams are used for dance choreography.The Varnam starts with
a teermanam executed in all the three speeds called the "trikala jathi".In
the first half each line of the sahityam (lyrics) is interlinked with one
or two complicated teermanams rendered by the nattuvannar.The second half
from the charanam is in faster tempo.The charana swaras are set to korvais
and the corresponding sahityam is set to abhinaya.
a Daruvu that is a song that describes an event, some natural scenery,
or a person's character. In Arunaacala Kavi's RaamanaaTakam, a Daru beginning
with "kalyaaNa bherigai aDitaar" in mOhanam vividly describes the marriage

pada varnam - a varnam that has rhythmic elements like a padam, meant
for classical dance. It has cowka kaala (some madhyama kaala) swaras suitable
