From fiction, non-fiction, self-help to cookery and informative guides, here’s an exhibition you can’t miss. With Marathi language titles as well as rare finds by acclaimed authors like Vyankatesh Madgulkar, and Durga Bhagwat, there’s something for everyone. We met with organisers — Ganesh Londhe and Ravindra Kasar who had a story to tell.

Saahityadarshan promises rare finds for the diligent reader

Friends of books
Friends Londhe and Kasar worked together in a publication company for over fifteen years. Having seen the business from up close, the duo formed a keen interest and soon enough, decided to do something out of their fondness for reading. Londhe shares, “We both are only seventh and eighth class pass outs who happened to work together in a publication company. While there, we realised our interest in books and hence, decided to give back to readers. With this thought, we collaborated and formed a team to organise exhibitions across Maharashtra over a decade ago. We began with a single exhibition; now, we have at least 25 exhibitions in a year — two every month, ideally at different venues. So, as of now, we are also running an exhibition in Kolhapur simultaneously.”
