Hosted by Lakshya Datta, Poetry Darbaar brings you the poems, the shayaris, the kavitas, and the poets of India - celebrating the best of contemporary Indian poetry across its many languages - including Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, and many more. Through live readings and conversations with the poets themselves, this show will attempt to explore answers to one question: where do the words come from? This podcast is produced by Launchora, and the poems are curated by writer-editor-publisher Namita Gokhale.
