Chitralekha is a weekly magazine published in Gujarati and Marathi.[1] The magazine is published by the Chitralekha Group from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.[1] Chitralekha's first issue was published in 1950, under the editorship of Vaju Kotak.[2]

It has 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.[3]

The Chitralekha Group publishes several other magazines, including Watch World (a niche magazine focused on Watches) and BTW (By The Way - a lifestyle magazine circulated with Chitralekha Gujarati).[1]

On 20 April 2011, the Indian Postal Service issued a Rs. 5 commemorative postage stamp honouring Chitralekha.[2][4]
