There are many beautiful morning ragas in Hindustani Classical music. Raga Todi or Miyan ki Todi was the trademark composition of Miyan Tansen the legendary composer in the court of Akbar. Raga Todi is also known as Miyan ki Todi, Shuddha Todi and Darbari Todi. All these names essentially refer to the same Raga Todi.
Todi is a morning raga that is sung from 8am to 10am. It has the ability to evoke the same mood of playfulness of a newborn lying in bed content, smiling and playful. In film music, Raga Todi has been largely used in composing songs that depict pathos.
The ten thaats (arrangement of notes) in Hindustani Classical Music are Asavari, Bilawal, Bhairav, Bhairavi, Todi, Poorvi, Marwa, Kafi, Kalyan, Khamaj. I use a simple mnemonic (AB-BB-TPM-KKK) to remember the list.
