Swapnasandhani (Bengali: ⓘ) is a Bengali theater group from Kolkata. The group was founded on 29 May 1992.[1] Swapnasandhani has been marked by the acting and direction of Kaushik Sen.
From 2006, Swapnasandhani began performing on a regular basis at the Sujata Sadan every Saturday. This eliminated their need to wait in queue for free slots at the major theatres like the Academy of Fine Arts, Madhusudan Mancha etc.
