Kavi sammelan

A Kavi Sammelan (Devanagari:कवि सम्मेलन, Kavī Sammelan, transl. Poet conference) is a traditional gathering of poets in the Hindi Belt region of the Indian subcontinent, where poets recite their poetry before each other and an audience, often followed by a discussion on literary topics. These gatherings are typically public events, although they can also occur in more intimate settings. Among the different forms of Kavi Sammelan, Hasya Kavi Sammelan (dedicated to humor and satire) has gained immense popularity.
