Origins & Context
Todi is the representative raga of the Todi thaat. The realm of Raga Todi, as well as many Todi That ragas have questionable origins. Some say the scale shown was the original. Others believe that Todi came in two forms: Todi and Suddha Todi.
Today, Raga Todi, also known as Miyan Ki Todi, uses the Bhairavi scale with madhyama and nisada both having the sharpened forms. In this raga, Pa is extremely weak. Another unique feature about this raga is the special flattened form of komal re. In fact, many ragas in the Todi That have a super-flattened komal re used.
