The title is the name of an interesting Indian raga. Starting with the tonic on O', the scale used is O' O E G A' A C. The harmonic treatment is Western, but the unique flavor of the scale still comes through. "Todi" also happens to be the name of a potent alcoholic brew found in some parts of Asia, made from coconuts.
