A Pilgrim turned a writers hub



Antarvedi,a picturesque pilgrim place located in the district of East Godavari,A.P.,renowned for its beautiful landscapes along with River Godavari.Here,the presiding deity is Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy.Tirunallu or  the annual celebrations of the location is quite known all over for its pomp and religious fervor.Devotees used to throng there in large number.



Last sunday,November 23,Antarvedi has become a venue for a different celebration.Poets,Writers and lovers of Literature gathered there to interact among them.There were many events like book release,Poetry recital,literary discussions,Prize distributions and so on.All guests were served with delicious food and pleasantries.All this was organised by a Facebook group,Sahitee seva,devoted for Telugu literature.



In fact,I had to be there but abstained from it due to some unavoidable errands.My heartfelt congrats for its organizers Kancharla Subba Naidu garu,Dr.Katti manda Pratap garu,Rvss Srinivas garu and all other facebook freinds.Let the fraternity of the letters continue this good tradition.
