The basic sounds are listed in three groups:
right-handed, left-handed and two-handed.

These strokes rarely exist alone in isolation as in the list, they are always part of a group of strokes called bol. The list is to help you understand hand position and pronunciation. To practice playing it is best to focus on listening and learning the compound bol in the BOL EXERCISES GALLERY, this way you will be learning the practical use of strokes for Shanti Mandir chants.
