Origins & Context

Chandrakauns is a raga similar to Raga Malkauns. It has the same pentatonic structure, with its only difference being with the usage of ni. Komal ni is used in Malkauns, while suddha ni is used on Raga Chandrakauns.

The raga is assumed to have come from the Carnatic system. Due to its notes, it is not easily placed in a North Indian thāt.
