Time: 5.30 to 7 PM IST

Mythologies around the world tell excellent stories and 'The Mahabharata' is no exception to this. Being an epic with multiple characters at play, the story has captured our imagination. The story is also enriched by our own interpretations which definitely changes the way we look at the epic. Devdutt Pattanaik’s version - JAYA, gives us a completely new take on the epic filled with viewpoints from different characters. Joy of Anubhava will take you on a journey to experience this book through different art forms including storytelling, music, role plays, writing, debates, and photography.

So, join us to face different scenario-based “what if” and “why” questions. Get ready to step into the shoes of different characters to tell their stories from their own voices and also engage in character analysis. Above all, get ready to attend a workshop where there are no wrong but just different answers. Attend the workshop to leave with a completely new perspective, meet a community of book lovers, and engage in 90 minutes of pure fun, sharing, and learning.
