About Bengaluru Poetry Festival & Children's Fest
We are not just selling books here; we are actively helping bring the Bengaluru Poetry Festival to life. From the 600-seater main stage hosting global voices to the dedicated green space where the Children's Fest unfolds with puppetry and storytelling, our involvement ensures you get the full, unfiltered festival experience right here in Indiranagar.
The Bengaluru Poetry Festival is not just an annual calendar marker for us; it is an extension of what we do every day at Atta Galatta. When we partner with the festival, our goal is to bridge the gap between complex literary discussions and the joy of simple storytelling.
The Main Stage Experience
Across the two-day festival at Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha, we arrange sessions that range from deep dives into regional poetry—think Lal Ded's vaakhs or Kashmiri interpretations—to lively musical performances and cinema-poetry mashups. Whether you are a literature student or just looking for a new perspective, our panels are designed to be conversational, not academic.
For the Little Readers
Our Children's Fest is perhaps the part we are most proud of. We dedicate a green, open space specifically for younger minds to engage with dance, drama, miming, and clowning. It is free, lively, and perfect for parents who want their kids to experience the arts without the pressure of sitting still.
Why It Matters
We believe poetry belongs to everyone. By placing book stalls filled with rare poetry titles and works from independent presses alongside the main performance auditorium, we make sure that the poems you hear on stage can travel home with you on the page. Drop by for a session, shop our selected festival collections, or just soak in the energy of fellow literature lovers.
Atta Galatta
I'm not just a bookstore; I'm a stage for stories, whether they’re spoken by a seasoned poet or a first-time storyteller at our Children's Fest. Come join us as we bring Bengaluru's literary community together for a weekend of words and wonder.
