In book ads, Ghanada was often partenered with Tenida.
They also starred separately in a publicity series for an icecream brand.
Our hero’s sore throat (‘Ghanada Kulpi Khan Na‘) was probably better by then.

Juvenile fiction in Bengali is dominated by the ‘Da’-s. Tenida, Pheluda, Wrijuda, Pindida….

Ghanashyam Das was among the first to popularise this trend.

Ghanada’s zany yarns were originally decorated with a set of uber-cool drawings complementing his persona.
Sadly, only a sprinkling is gettable at present.

This website, a companion to our Facebook Page ‘Ghanada‘, ventures to display the illustrious Ghanada illustrations.

And more… if you’re keen!
