Chitralekha is a weekly magazine published in Marathi and Gujarati. Chitralekha is published by the Chitralekha Group from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Chitralekha's first issue was published in 1950, under the editorship of Vaju Kotak.
It had given rise to many prominent Gujarati columnists including Kanti Bhatt, Chnadrakant Bakshi, Taarak Mehta, and others. After the sudden demise of founding editor Vaju Kotak in late 1950s, Madhuri Kotak took the charge of the magazine along with Harkishan Mehta.[1]
The Chitralekha Group publishes several other weekly magazines, including G (a film magazine in Gujarati, Marathi and English) and BTW (By The Way).
On 20 April 2011, the Indian Postal Service issued a Rs. 5 commemorative postage stamp honouring Chitralekha.[2]
