Raga Todi belongs to Todi thaat. This raga is a morning melody & expresses both heroic and devotional moods. It is also called ‘Miyan Ki Todi’ which is now, the most important raga of the Todi family and sometimes also referred to as ‘Shuddh Todi’. It is believed that the father of music; Miyan Tansen has created this raga. Todi is a plaintive raga, which creates a mood of delighted adoration in a gentle, loving sentiment. When played it creates an aura of a profound & pathos-filled melody.
