Hanumatodi

Hanumatodi, more popularly known as Todi, (Sanskrit: हनुमतोडि, Kannada: ಹನುಮತೋಡಿ, Telugu: హనుమతోడి, Tamil: ஹனுமத்தோடி, செவ்வழியாள்) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 8th melakarta rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 melakarta rāgam system. This is sung very often in concerts. It is known to be a difficult rāgam to perform in owing to its complexity in prayoga (phrases of notes and intonation). It is called Janatodi in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music.
