Pure Peace – Based on Raag Chandranandan is a 2023 instrumental composition by Indian classical musician Niladri Kumar. The track spans 4 minutes and 35 seconds and draws from the framework of Raag Chandranandan, a melodic structure associated with the Hindustani classical tradition.

The composition emphasizes meditative phrasing and layered textures, aligning with Kumar’s broader exploration of fusion between classical raga systems and contemporary instrumental techniques.

Notable aspects of the track include its use of alaap-inspired improvisation in the introductory section, followed by a structured development of the raga’s ascending and descending scales. The piece concludes with a gradual resolution that reinforces the raga’s characteristic serene mood. No lyrical content or vocal accompaniment is present.
