Divya Bhaskar (Charming Sun) is a Gujarati daily newspaper launched on 23 June 2003 from Ahmedabad with a world record sale of 4,52,000. Now, with editions spread to also Baroda, Surat, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Mehsana, Bhuj and Bhavnagar (as Saurashtra Samachar) and Junagadh (as Sorath Bhaskar) – more editions than any other newspaper in the state – it has become India’s largest circulated Gujarati daily with a circulation of 11 lakh. So, wherever you are in India needing to promote your goods, services and/or events in Gujarat, put Divya Bhaskar on the top of your list. But remember that each edition has a different rate although combining editions (e.g. Ahmedabad + Surat) can reduce overall costs.

Divya Bhaskar Display ads: These are the most expensive of the three formats in which ads can be placed in Divya Bhaskar. There are no limitations on the size, colours or pages – or even the positions on each page. The only restriction is the budget since these ads are also charged on a square centimetre basis.
