Answer to Question 1

 The mridangam continues to accompany the melody being played on the veena, playing rhythm patterns within the adi tala cycles that complement the rhythms of the melody.
18:00-21:30 The Drum Solo: Tani Avartanam

Answer to Question 2

The melody is made up of notes which are repeated many times. In the kalpana svaras (imagined notes) section of an instrumental performance, the musicians articulate or pluck each note.
