Inspired by the five elements—Earth (Plant Poetry, 2018), Water (Float Poetry, 2019), Fire (Ignite Poetry, 2020), Air (Breathe Poetry, 2021), and Ether (Dream Poetry, 2022)—the festival later evolved into the “Shimmering Seasons” series: Winterful Whispers (Mysuru, 2024), Auburn Ambrosia (Pondicherry, 2024), Summer Sashays (Panchgani, 2025), and Vernal Verses (Hyderabad, 2026).
