S-rR-gG-m-P-d-n-S

---

Summarised by musicologist and critic Rajan Parrikar as “an obscure [Todi] variant, in which strands of Asavari and Khamaj are tied to the Todi-ang”. His guru Ramrang’s rendition of the raga revolves around phrases such as PmPm\g; mPn\d; SRnS; rnSRG, whereas Srikant Bakre‘s take also visits the shuddha Dha (bandish transcribed in full below) – although further renditions are hard to definitively trace. While historical information is scant, the raga’s name is presumably linked to the near-congruent Carnatic Abheri (prakriti with Asavari thaat). Compare to other rare Todi ragas including Saheli Todi, Lakshmi Todi, Mangal Todi, and Adarangi Todi.
