Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales, is a distinctive and rich part of the United Kingdom with one of the longest literary traditions in Europe that is yet to be fully discovered by many in India. The Welsh being extremely proud of their heritage, have conscientiously revived and reinvented their traditional customs, especially those relating to language, poetry, literature and music. They are now set to bring some of their best artistic minds to Mumbai with the 'Cymru in the City: A Micro Festival of Welsh Literature and Culture'.

Dive into Welsh literature
The first edition of the three-day event promises to showcase the country's fascinating heritage and cross-pollinate ideas with the finest local minds in Mumbai. The festival will commence on January 14 with an evening of readings by a select group of Welsh and Indian authors at Kitab Khana, where they will be joined by Europe's award-winning author, film and TV writer Caryl Lewis and novelist, port, scriptwriter and translator Harkaitz Cano.
