Description: The present paper is a reshaped version of two earlier ones: B.C.. Deva, The Todas and their Music, Folklore, March 1973, Vol. XIV. That the kind of "modal" structure identifies these songs as "Indian" in the broader sense of the word, while the rolling melodic movement from the depth to the height is the typical feature of Toda chants. This type of singing has never been affected by the music of oboes and drums as played for Toda funerals by Kotas, the artisans of the Nilgiris. And the Kotas, on the other hand, did not imitate the melodies of the Todas at all.
