Todi Ragini is the second wife of Hindola Raga in the predominant ragamala (garland of melodies) classification system generally known as the Rajasthani system. It is a tender melody associated with the early morning and Winter (November–January). It may have originated as a tune sung by village girls to mesmerize foraging deer. Todi Ragini is described in ragamala poetry as a lovesick woman who walks alone through green groves and sings to the deer. It is usually personified as a woman carrying a vina and walking with deer and/or gazelles. Although she is usually shown as a solitary figure, she is occasionally shown accompanied by two female companions. Here, Todi Ragini is envisioned as an ornately garbed woman carrying a rudra vina (a stick zither with two resonator gourds) in a lush mountainous forest with a stream running along the bottom. She is symbolically offering her music through her right hand held in the gift-giving gesture to a herd of blackbuck antelopes (Antilope cervicapra), which include a black-and-white male with corkscrew horns and several beige-and-white females and juveniles. Waterfowl, peacocks, and parrots are also captivated by the melody. The blazing sun and light blue sky indicate it is a daytime melody. See also M.71.1.42, M.77.154.6, AC1999.127.11, and M.2004.180.
