What is Kaahaani Ghar?
Folktale is “a poetic text that carries some of its cultural contexts within it; it is also a traveling metaphor that finds a new meaning with each new telling.”
A country as vast and as ancient as India naturally boasts a treasure-trove of oral folktales. The diversity of India’s cultures ensures a wide and complex range of tales, which help to maintain traditional language and customs from different regions, religious and social groups, and tribes.
We want to make folklore accessible to all especially the young generation so that it can be carried to next and so on. Though digital is the new face of the world, folklore is barely present on digital and even if it is, accessibility and democratization is vague. Kaahaani Ghar wants to change that.
