Well, rakthi ragas are ragas that have an aesthetic beauty in them and are a lot classical.

Sorry for the confusion, what i meant was basically 'standard' thodi pharases. I might have misused the phrase rakthi? I only used it based on the contexts ive heard it being used :P Always good to try and sound smart :)

Now, THAT is a rakthi tODi. Somu sings some really beautiful gamakas with the gandharam. Thank you, Coolji!

Rasika911, have you watched the following video (one of the Alathur Bros, LGJ, PMI)?

One basic place to look for phrases is a geete - no joking :)

It is a wonderful geete in Todi - along with some ramble of my own: http://neelanjana.wordpress.com/2010/06 ... -big-five/

Can we also have the rest of the 'Big five" possibly by NSG?

Thanks Ramakriya. I have never heard this geetham before. Sounds like a good one to learn to get a synopsis of Thodi.
It is indeed an involved one for a beginner, especially when seen next to Vara Veena. ( or popularly knows as ga ga pa pa.. !! )

It is always a delight to hear NSG appreciating CM as a rasika!!

What you say about Thodi is quite right. In another thread, where Sangeet Rasik talks about the grand unification between HM and CM, I used to wonder how Thodi kind of ragas which have evolved in their own way can be accommodated in HM. I digress, just some loud thinking.
