Gariyoshi is an Assamese language monthly literary magazine published by the Sahitya-Prakash, Tribune Building, Guwahati. It was founded by Chandra Prasad Saikia, who was also the first editor. The magazine is published monthly. Current editor Dr. Lakshmi Nandan Bora assumed the post in April 2009. Bora was preceded by Harekrishna Deka.
