Energetic and lively poetry recitation by Mrs. Manju Lodha, author of Param Veer and other books and Founder of Gyan Gangotri, highlighted the uniqueness of Rajasthan in terms of literary personalities, arts, cuisine and places. Nari Shakti awardee Mrs. Ruma Devi, an embodiment of woman empowerment and a beacon of light to thousands of women artisans, outlined the different types of needlework of Rajasthan and her own journey from hardship to glory.
Interaction of attendees with speakers unveiled more about the marketing of pottery works and the choice of topics to write on. A short video on the attractions of Rajasthan was played thereafter.
