Shivamogga Lit Fest
Nestled in the foothills of the Sahyadri range and draped in lush greenery, Shivamogga is the gateway to the Malnad region. This land, rich in art, literature, and intellect, is a sacred soil where great saints and ‘Dasa’ philosophers lived. It is also the workspace of legendary poets who championed the ideals of universal humanity (Vishwa Manavatva) and harmony (Samanvaya). Having witnessed many cultural, intellectual, and social milestones, Shivamogga has carved a unique identity for itself within Karnataka.
The concept of ‘Shivamogga Lit Fest’ is being organized in this heart of Malnad as a literary festival to revive Indian values and promote the true essence of India. Renowned literary figures will present their insights through meaningful dialogues and interactions.
Emerging from the Abhivyakti Trust, this movement aims to share the soul of Shivamogga—its stories and emotions—with the world. Held in the lap of nature, the ‘Shivamogga Lit Fest’ will pave the way for fresh perspectives.
The vision of ‘Shivamogga Lit Fest’ is to:
Bring together senior and budding literary enthusiasts on a single platform.
Discuss contemporary issues of the literary world in detail.
Act as a bridge between the innovative thoughts of the younger generation and the established ideologies of the older generation.
Understand the heart of the nation through the study of literature and culture.
Identify new possibilities for language and communication in this era of evolving technology.
Provide a stage for new ideas and creative experiments.
Come, let’s participate in this festival of literature…
