All the above serials were excellently illustrated by Chitra Chandamama's Ramayana story is very close to Valmiki's Ramayana story. In fact the names are picked pretty well, Helen of Troy becomes BhuvanaSundari, Ulysses is Roopadhara. Both BhuvanaSundari and Roopadharana Yaatregalu is very interesting as the stories are set up as per Homer's epics, but the character names are all indian.

These 12 issues were unique as it was a page to page/word to word translation of the telugu/Tamil versions. Chandamama was a classic Indian monthly magazine for children, famous for its illustrations. The first english versions of Chandamama ran between 1956-July and 1957- June, afterwhich they stopped. Chandamama regulary ran stories based on Chinese folklore between 1958 - 1960. Some of the important ones were based on: Kalidasa's: Abhigyaana Shakuntala, Vikramoorvasiya, Bhasa's :Madhyamavyaooga, Sudraka's: Charudatta, to name a few. When these appeared, the cover work ( done by Vapa ) was also based on these stories. Chandamama ran stories from Famous Sanskrit plays between 1960 - 1962. Most of these translations/written were done by a writer called "Mulibayalu". Some of the stories had original characters names ( such as Hamlet) where as others were indian and the story was adopted to Indian environment. These were pretty lengthy well written stories. Chandamama regulary ran translated story versions of William Shakespeare's works in 1957 - 1960. The first few stories were all from the original Brihatkatha. The first story was called "Mahamantri, Manovyadhi" is the betalakatha prolouge and the first story as in Sanskrit original in "Brithkatha". First artists of Chandamama were: Chitra ( real name: raghavulu), MGK, Kesav.

Lot has been written about the history of Chandamama and its publication details. This has been very handy for me to tell stories to my kids. I collected almost all issues of Chandamama published between 1949 - 1972. Brings a lot of nostalgia for me.Ĭhandamama ( along with Indrajaal comics I should add) brings lots of memories for all of us who grew as kids in the 60's and 70's. I pleased to read the article that rediff published on Chandamama ( ref: ).
