Rag Gujari Todi
Ragmala Painting of Rag (Ragini) Gujari (Kulu, Pahadi - circa A.D. 1750)
Description
Gujari Todi is a very common morning rag in Todi That. There are a number of popular film songs in Gujari Todi, including Ik Tha Bachapan.
There are fundamental differences between Mian Ki Todi and Gujari Todi. Where Mian-ki-Todi has a Pa that is very weak, Gujari Todi has no Pa at all, therefore they sound very similar. The absence of Pa makes this rag shadav - shadav jati. As is typical of the vadi / samvadi theory there are differences of opinion concerning the vadi and samvadi; Dha, Ga, and Re have variously been declared to occupy these positions.
