Punjab being host state, took the previlliage to translate all poems of different languages into Punjabi. Each Poet recited in his own language, on the backlit screen same poem appeared in English and one of the host poets presented the Punjabi Translation of the same. I was given the opportunity to translate two poets Evelyn Holloway and Uktamoy. It was a wonderful experience for all. Here are some pictures of the festival.
