Raag Miyan Ki Todi (Brief A... Lyrics & Chords

Most of you must have heard or be aware of this plaintive contemplative deep raag called Todi also called Miyan ki Todi since it was originally composed by Mian Tansen.

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 Gurjari Todi.
Gurjari Todi is a commonly used derivative raag of Todi Thaat but unlike Miya ki Todi, it omits Pa both in Aaroh and Avaroh. Other Todi Thaat raags are Multani, Lilavati and Madhuvanti.

Structure : Sampoorna/Sampoorna
Aaroh: S r g M’ P d N S’
Avarah: S’ N d P M’ g r S

Vadi – Komal Dha i.e d
Samvadi – Komal Ga i.e g

r, g, d are Komal/Flat notes. M’ is Tivra Ma
Samay/Time : Todi is performed in the late morning.

Pakad/Signature: The distinctive phrase is r/g-\r\S, where r may be subtly oscillated.

The equivalent raga in Carnatic music is Shubhapantuvarali.

I have tried an alaap in Miyan ki Todi. Please pardon for any pitching mistakes. This is not an easy raag by any stretch. I will open up this page for discussions later. Thanks in advance.
