Granthasram is your trusted online destination for books in Bangladesh. Founded and managed by students of Jahangirnagar University, Granthasram began its journey as an offline bookstore and has grown into a digital platform to serve readers nationwide. Our mission is simple: to make books more accessible, affordable, and enjoyable for everyone.
At Granthasram, we believe that literature flows through a reader’s soul like the flood of Noah—uncontainable, profound, and transformative. The legendary German poet Goethe found immense joy in reading, while the Persian poet Omar Khayyam once wrote:
“Bread and wine may run out, the beloved’s dark eyes may fade,
But a good book remains eternally youthful—if it is the right book.”
As social beings, humans eternally seek companionship and meaning. In this endless journey through time, books silently and selflessly enrich the reader’s inner world. When loneliness creeps in, a book becomes the most faithful friend—present, patient, and powerful.
Books speak without uttering a word, and the reader learns to hear their unspoken thoughts. Granthasram gives voice to those thoughts. We are the bridge between the silent page and the eager reader.
Granthasram is the fruit of deep reflection—a mission to heal the wounds of modern life with the comfort of literature. In an age driven by technology and consumerism, we create a sanctuary scented with the aroma of printed pages. Through every story and conversation, we offer the heart’s blooms to the reader’s soul.
New generations of writers are emerging through the fragrance of books. Soon, Granthasram will launch a special collection:
“Jahangirnagar Corner – Our Books” — featuring works written by current and former students and faculty of Jahangirnagar University, all under one literary roof.
Within Granthasram’s courtyard, the greatest treasures of world literature await our readers. We deliver books with care, safety, and at an affordable price—bringing the forest of books to your hands.
Our team, the travelers of Granthasram, are tirelessly working to let your imagination gallop like ‘Mahin’s horses’ through the moonlit fields of ‘Kartik nights’.
In an age torn by capitalist wars, dry rivers, and fading greenery, where hearts grow weary like homeless birds, Granthasram dares to lift the banner of imagination and resistance. We uncover the buried sparks of rebels, visionaries, and poets—from Kshudiram to Rumi, from the ancient non-Aryans to Kahlil Gibran’s Broken Wings.
🌻 Currently, Granthasram operates at the Central Cafeteria premises of Jahangirnagar University.
We invite you to be a part of this sanctuary of books.
Granthasram, established by a group of passionate students from Jahangirnagar University, has not only made books more accessible on campus but also envisions a future where it becomes a central hub for literary and cultural engagement.
