काव्यकैरवम्: Kavvya Kairavam

The main purpose of Poetry or Kavya is to provide aesthetic delight to its author, readers and listeners. Dr. Swetapadma Satapahty, the composer of this poetry i.e. Kavya Kairavam is very much aware of this eternal doctrine of the Poetics and accordingly she has chosen some relevant subject matters and titles on which she has composed eighteen poems in Sanskrit. All these eighteen poems are systematically and strategically arranged and incorporated in the concerned "Kavya Kairavam". The subject matters are mainly related to Indian aesthetics and its concept; literature and its underlying philosophy; utility of a clean and green environment in India; significance and relevance of Sanskrit, war and peace; Covid-19 and its impact and lessons; message and philosophy of the great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi; Socio cultural and Socio-religious components of Indian heritage and the commitment of self to transform the present society in a positive direction.
