Chandranandan
Ali Akbar Khan’s modern raag interweaves material associated with Malkauns, Chandrakauns, Nandkauns and Kaunsi Kanada. Its descending routes are especially varied.

- Reference-specific / phrase-based
The source documents a simple Malkauns-related ascent and curved, interlocking returns. Thaat classifications differ across publishers, so Unclassified is retained. The four parent raags are not merged as aliases. Shorthand: r/g/d/n = komal; m = shuddha Ma; M^ = tivra Ma. Octave positions are not added to the reference shorthand. Unassigned fields are not a claim of an anytime tradition. The selected daily window follows Raagtime; it does not erase gharana differences or seasonal flexibility. These are introductory outlines; phrases, ornament and tradition give a raga its identity.
