Udaipur Tales Festival Celebrates Oral Storytelling

The Udaipur Tales International Storytelling Festival is a special event where people come together to listen to stories told live by storytellers.

Unlike reading books or watching videos, this festival focuses on the traditional way of storytelling, where stories are shared from memory and personal experiences.

The founders, Sushmita Singha and Salil Bhandari, started this festival to save and share stories that might otherwise be forgotten.

They believe that storytelling helps people connect with each other and understand different cultures.

The festival includes many types of stories, like folk tales, mysteries, and modern stories, all told in a way that makes the audience feel emotionally connected.

The founders also think that in today's digital world, it's important to take time to listen to real stories told by real people, as this creates a special bond that technology can't replace.
