Theme of PILF 2024

Agni: The Spark

At the heart of the Panorama International Literature Festival (PILF) 2024 flickers the profound theme, “Agni: The Spark.” This theme encapsulates the essence of creation and destruction, echoing the dual nature of fire. In the digital expanse of our festival, “Agni: The Spark” becomes a guiding beacon, illuminating the path for writers, readers, and thinkers alike. It symbolizes the transformative power of literature, akin to the ancient concept of Agni, representing not only physical fire but also the fire within us – the spark of passion, creativity, and change.

As we delve into this theme in January 2024, we invite you to explore the multifaceted aspects of Agni. It’s more than a flame; it’s the force that kindles creativity, sparks conversations, and ignites the spirit of innovation. “Agni: The Spark” serves as a reminder of our shared humanity, urging us to delve into the depths of literature to understand the world and ourselves better. Through this theme, PILF becomes a platform where ideas blaze, illuminating the digital realm with stories that inspire, inform, and challenge.
