India’s only school for Harikatha survives on the banks of river Godavari with the patronage of a Diwan’s family
Vandita Lakshman Kumari of Karnataka State has been passing her teenage on the banks of the sacred river Godavari for years. In their teenage, the life of another five girls from the same State is also the same. They are being groomed as complete ‘Harikatha’ exponents at Sri Sarvaraya Harikatha Pathasala, which is India’s only school exclusively dedicated to Harikatha teaching. It is also dedicated to girl students.
Established in June 1973 at Kapileswarapuram village in East Godavari district, the school has groomed nearly 200 girls in Harikatha. Kapileswarapuram Diwan Balusu Prabhakara Bucchi Krishna Satyanarayana Rao (SBPBKS Rao) has established the school in the street where the Diwan family lives.
