Sandesh (, Shôndesh) is a Bengali children's magazine. The periodical was first published by Upendrakishore Raychowdhury in 1913 through his publishing company, M/s U. Ray and Sons. The magazine was first published from its office in 22, Sukeas Street. Subsequently the office and the press were shifted to the new building built by Upendrakishore at 100, Garpar Road. Upendrakishore's son Sukumar Ray went to Great Britain for advanced training in printing technology, and he joined as an active partner after his return from abroad.(1)
After the death of Upendrakishore Roychowdhury in 1915, his eldest son Sukumar Ray succeeded as the editor of the magazine in 1915. The Sukumar Ray years established Sandesh as a unique magazine that combined literary values with humour and fun and a lot of information from different parts of the world.(1)(2)
In 1923, Sukumar's younger brother Subinoy took the charge after the death of Sukumar Ray. However the publication of the magazine was stopped in 1925.
