In Carnatic music, the anupallavi comes after the pallavi and is usually the second section of any composition.
In compositions that do not have an anupallavi, there often exists a Samrashti Charanam that combines both the anupallavi and charanam of the composition which directly follows the pallavi.
It is usually sung at a higher pitch and adds more beauty to the music.
Usually the Anupallavi is shorter than the Charanam .
