Bhupal Todi


Bhupal Todi or Bhoopal Todi is a Hindustani classical raga. This raga is quite different from Bhopali (or Bhoop). The Carnatic music equivalent of Bhupal Todi musical scale is Bhupalam.

Writing about the musical theory of Indian classical music is fraught with complications. First of all, there have been no set, formal methods of written notation. Indian music is an aural tradition, and therefore writing is not an essential part of attaining talim(knowledge).

The scale of Bhupal Todi uses only komal swaras. It is a symmetric scale.

Thaat: Bhairavi. Note: the raga Bhopal Todi is Todi-Ang raga. So it is suggested that one must assume this raga from "Thaat Todi". It may be more appropriate.

Behavior refers to practical aspects of the music. It is complicated to talk about this for Hindustani music since many of the concepts are fluid, changing, or archaic. The following information cannot be accurate, but it can attempt to reflect how the music existed.

This scale is sung in the morning.
