When Komal Nishad of Raag Malkauns is replaced by Shuddha Nishad, Raag Chandrakauns appears. The Shuddha Nishad in this Raag not only differentiates it from Raag Malkauns but also produces a lasting unique impression on the audience. In this Raag, Shuddha Nishad is a prominent note. The Shuddha Nishad produces an atmosphere full of anxiety and tension.

Some experts classify this Raag’s Thaat to be Bhairavi or Kafi. This is a Uttarang Pradhan Raag. Following are the illustrative combinations for Raag Chandrakauns:
