They believe that Today Mangalam has some purifying and auspicious effect, thus it is necessary to sing it to provide pure devotinal atmosphere for successful performance. Thodaya Mangalam is sung before dance kutcheri as well. It is sung as "Aahvana Keerthanam" (songs to welcome the Lord with mangalam) in the beginning of Sampradhaya Bhajan. The songs in Thodaya Mangalam are in praise of Lord Rama, Lord Krishna and Lord Srinivasa, (various forms and names of Lord Maha Vishnu) and composed in sanskrit and telugu in ghana ragas like Naatai, Aarabi, Madhyamaavathi, Saaveri, and Panthuvarali. As a musical composition, Thodaya Mangalam is a set of songs, composed by saints like Sri Badhradri Ramadasa Swami Sri Annamacharya, and Sri Vijayagopala Swamigal and compiled like a garland by Marudhanallur Sathguru Swamigal.
