Saraswatichandra (pronounced [sʌrʌsvʌtɪtʃʌndr] ⓘ) is a Gujarati novel by Govardhanram Madhavaram Tripathi, an author of late nineteenth century from Gujarat, India.

However, Suresh Joshi, a strong proponent of formalism theory, criticized the novel for its structural failure.

As the titles suggest, the first part is about the administration of Buddhidhan, the second about Gunasundari's family life, the third about the politics of Ratnanagari, and the fourth about the consciousness of Saraswatichandra, the hero.

At the end of the first part Kumud, wife of Pramadadhan who is a son of Buddhidhan, leaves Suvarnapur to visit her parents home.

Saraswatichandra, the protagonist of the novel, is a well educated, young lawyer deeply interested in literature, quite emotional and idealistic.

He has been engaged to marry Kumudsundari (daughter of Vidyachatur – a Divan of Ratnanagari), a charming and proficient lady.

[6] But soon after, Saraswatichandra leaves Buddhidhan's house due to the tensions that contact with Kumud is causing them both, but on the way, he is attacked by bandits.

At the same night, Kumud also leaves Suvarnapur to visit her parents home and on the way, get attacked by the same bandits gang, but is saved by her grandfather, who had come halfway to receive her.

[12] Anandshankar Dhruv described the novel as a purana; Vishwanath Bhatt called it an "epic in prose"; while Dolarrai Mankad hailed it as "Sakalakatha".

[7] Saraswatichandra was translated and published in English by the director of Sabarmati Ashram, Tridip Suhrud, in four volumes starting 2015.

[17] The book was also translated into Hindi by Alok Gupta and Virendranarayan Sinh in 2015 and was published by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi.

[19][3] Chhotalal Rukhdev Sharma had adapted it into a play produced by Aryanitidarshak Natak Samaj which premiered on 11 March 1912.
