A tribute to poetry

They recited, they debated and they discussed Indian poetry as a genre in a remarkable confluence that brought together the best of poetic minds in India. After an eventful two days, Bhartiya Kavita 

Bimb ended with the message: that Indian poetry is here to stay.

From Marathi, Oriya, Assamese, to Tamil, Hindi and Urdu, Delhi successfully brought together over two days poets from almost all Indian languages on one single platform in a major celebration of Indian poetry and its evolution over time.

It was a delight for the lovers of the poetic tradition, as over 38 poets from 20 Indian languages came together for the festival, a unique tribute to Indian poetry.

Presented by Delhi Government’s Department of Art, Culture and Languages and Hindi Academy, the festival of Indian poetry was an attempt to celebrate the richness of Indian languages and the compositions they are producing in an era of globalisation and exchange when the West has had a major impact on the culture of the world.

The two day festival witnessed four interesting sessions during which the poets came together and recited some of their best works, held seminars and discussions.
