Mian-ki-Todi

Todi, also known as Mian-ki-Todi (Miyan-ki-Thodi), is a very common morning rag.  However, there is a certain disagreement as to its structure.  According to some, all seven notes are used in both the ascending and descending structures; according to this approach, this rag is sampurna - sampurna.  Others suggest that the Pa is absent in the arohana but present in the avarohana; according to this approach this rag is shadav - sampurna.  Here we are presenting the sampurna - sampurna version.  There is also disagreement concerning the vadi and the samvadi.  Some consider the vadi to be Dha while others consider it to be Ma.  Many musicians consider the samvadi to be Ga.
