Chandrakauns

\"Raga Chandrakauns\" is a track performed by Indian slide guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. The composition appears as the third track on the album Guitar a La Hindustan, released on August 7, 2012. The piece spans a duration of 12 minutes and 15 seconds and adheres to the framework of Raga Chandrakauns, a raga in the Hindustani classical tradition characterized by its audav-jati structure (five notes in ascent and descent).

The album Guitar a La Hindustan presents Bhatt’s adaptation of Hindustani classical music to the modified Mohana Veena, a slide guitar of his own design. The release format for the album is digital media, with no physical label explicitly documented in available sources. The track exemplifies Bhatt’s fusion of traditional raga phrasing with the technical possibilities of the guitar, maintaining the improvisational and melodic conventions of the raga form.

Vishwa Mohan Bhatt is recognized for his contributions to Hindustani instrumental music, particularly for his collaborations with Western musicians and his role in popularizing the Mohana Veena. The 2012 release continues his exploration of raga-based compositions on the instrument, though specific recording details such as production personnel or accompanying artists for this track remain undocumented in the provided context.
