Hamro Majheru Saahitya Pratishthan and Chitwan Saahitya Parishad jointly organised a ghazal recital in the literary council’s premises this week. The event was inaugurated by Kedar Khanal, who did so by reciting one of ghazal writer Sirmomani Motiram Bhatta’s works. 

The show saw ghazal performances by 20 artists. 

During the event, veteran ghazalkaar Govinda Raj Binodi recited some ghazals of patriotic motifs. Other artists who recited ghazal at the event were Ramesh Prabhat, Pushpa Adhikari (Anjali), Dwarika Nepal, Binod Anuj, Prakriti Premi, Lekharam Sapkota, Prabhakar Pandit, and Bidhya Bhandari (Chirag), among others. 

The event was priced at Rs 100 per ticket, in a bid to gauge the craze of ghazal in the district. According to organisers, a total of 200 enthusiasts partook in the event, which the organisers say is a manifestation that the ghazal culture in Chitwan is still alive.
