Chandamama was a classic Indian monthly magazine for children, known for its illustrations and long-running mythological and magical stories.
The magazine was originally launched in Telugu by Chakrapani and Nagi Reddi, who later gained prominence as Telugu film producers. It was edited for 28 years by Kodavatiganti Kutumba Rao, a close friend of Chakrapani and a prominent figure in Telugu literature, until his death in August 1980.
