Adding the virama (್) below ತ್ರ creates the half letter ತ್ರ್ — it silences the inherent 'a' and allows this consonant to join the next one directly.
The halant form ತ್ರ್ appears in conjunct consonants and cluster words.
ತ್ರ is a samyukta akshara (compound consonant). It is formed by joining ತ (ta) and ರ (ra) with the virama (್).
Write ತ first, then add the virama to suppress its inherent vowel, then write ರ so the two shapes merge into the ligature ತ್ರ.
