Mysuru: The Second Edition of the Mysuru Literature Festival drew to a close on Sunday with nearly 40 authors and experts in various fields sitting in discussion in two parallel sessions at two venues — Thangaali, the outdoor one with two beautiful rain trees as backdrop, where seven panel discussions were held and the indoor Angana where six panel discussions took place. It was organised by Mysuru Literary Forum Charitable Trust and Mysuru Book Clubs 2015.
After the inaugural session with the keynote address by former RBI Governor Dr. Y.V. Reddy, the panel discussions immediately began with Rta Kapur Chisthi, author-researcher-design developer and Fashion Guru Prasad Bidapa clad in an authentic flowing white khadi kurta and panche, holding forth on “Why we should wear the fabric of freedom?” a topic to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
