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 Khaan Na') was probably better by then.

From 'Ghanada Gallery' Website

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 Gallery', ventures to display the illustrious Ghanada illustrations. 

 

And more… if you’re keen !
