NEW DELHI: KathaaLok, The Great Indian Storytelling Festival, organised by Samay Yaan, is poised to be a vibrant celebration of India's rich narrative traditions, inviting storytellers from across the nation to weave their magic in New Delhi. Set against the scenic backdrop of Palika Park, Connaught Place, on the 10th and 11th of February, this festival is not just an event but a movement to revive and honor the art of storytelling.

At KathaaLok, participants are offered a unique platform to showcase their storytelling prowess, with a chance to win a cash prize of up to Rs 2 Lakhs.

Whether you're a solo storyteller captivating the audience for 4 to 8 minutes, or part of a group ensemble performing for 8 to 15 minutes, KathaaLok is your stage to shine.

The festival celebrates a wide array of story genres such as Akraman (war stories), Preet (love stories), Hasya (comedy), Rehasya (mystery), Devlok (ancient Indian stories), Aitihasik (dramatized Indian historical stories), and enchanting tales from India's villages. Participants are encouraged to delve into the rich reservoirs of Indian literature, choosing works from legendary authors like Acharya Chatursen to Amrita Pritam, in any language, provided the stories resonate with the Indian ethos.

KathaaLok will also host an open mic segment for those looking to share their stories without the competitive edge.

The festival boasts a lineup of celebrated storytellers including Danish Husain, Manu Sikander Dhingra, and Fauzia Dastango, Indias first female Dastango. Attendees can expect a mesmerizing Tilismy story from Danish, a musical rendition of Qissa Heer Waris Shah by Manu, and a captivating Dastan-e-ram by Fauzia.
