Todi Raga

Todi (Hindi : तोडी) is a
Hindustani classical raga which
gave its name to the Todi thaat ,
one of the ten modes of
Hindustani classical music . Ragas
from the Todi raganga include
Todi (a.k.a. Miya ki Todi) itself,
Bilaskhani Todi , Bahaduri Todi,
and Gujari Todi.
The equivalent raga in Carnatic
music is Shubhapantuvarali . The
Carnatic raga Todi is the
equivalent of Bhairavi and does
not have any similarity to the
Hindustani Todi.

Kaufmann mentions that some
musicians would call Todi with Pa
Miyan Ki Todi, but others would
see no difference between Todi
and Miyan Ki Todi.
Sometimes the ascent is
performed without Sa, starting
from Ni.
