In this episode of 'INDICA BUZZ,' we discuss the role of INDICA Symposiums, a platform for the deep exploration of India’s rich intellectual and cultural heritage.

Dr. Nagaraj Paturi, the Kulpati of INDICA, highlights the success of the symposiums, the gaps they are filling in the Indic ecosystem, and the importance of digital accessibility for the success of this initiative. He also shares details about the upcoming symposium on the 'Living Traditions of Ramayana.' This topic is crucial for raising awareness within the research community about the significance of ancient Indian texts that are still relevant in contemporary traditions.
