SAPNE Folk Literature Event


Indian culture lives among people. The vast regions of South Asia are the home of world’s oldest mythology, folklore, ballads and rhythm of life. We have not studied if a rhythm is inherent in human biology or if we learn the rhythm from nature. Rhythm becomes our company in life, we perform our best when we are in rhythm. Rhythm is harmony in human existence and it manifests in human expressions. Without fully analyzing it, we settle it as an inner voice and then we use the term "God". Come and be part of the SAPNE Folk Literature Event on August 18th.
