Second prahar — late morning · 09:00–12:00
Todi
तोड़ी
The quintessential karuna raga of the late morning and head of the Todi thaat — komal Re, komal Ga and komal Dha around tivra Ma, with Pa omitted in ascent. Its plaintive tenderness is proverbial; ragamala paintings show Todi charming deer with her veena.
