In Carnatic music, "avartham" (also spelled "avartanam") refers to one complete cycle of the tala (time meter), similar to a bar in Western music, used to measure the length of musical phrases. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Tala and Avartham:

The tala is the rhythmic structure or meter of a piece of music. 

An avartham is one complete cycle of that tala. 

For example, in Adi tala (a common tala in Carnatic music), one avartham consists of 8 beats (4+2+2), and in Rupaka tala, one avartham consists of 7 beats. 

Purpose and Usage:

Avarthams are used to measure the length of musical phrases or sections.
