Mumbai Storytellers Society is back with an interesting event, and this time they have three speakers on board who will explore the foundations of cultural heritage through stories. Usha Venkatraman, Hema Subramanian and Shalini Bajaj Surve will narrate tales that shed light on three different cultures.

Sharing insight into her narration, Venkatraman, the founder of the society, says, “Khejri trees, the inspiration of the Chipko Movement, are on the verge of extinction. They hold a significant place in Rajasthani culture. We will be discussing the mythological and environmental importance of trees.” Giving the session a fun vibe, Hema Subramanian, co-founder of the society will unravel a folk tale, Sweet and Salty, from Andhra Pradesh. “It is a funny story about how a wife refines her husband’s taste in culture and traditions by forcing him to attend a harikatha,” tells Subramanian.
