Katha (storytelling)

Katha, or storytelling, is a traditional art form where a narrator shares stories, often rooted in cultural, spiritual, or moral themes, to educate, entertain, and inspire audiences. It involves verbal delivery combined with expressive gestures, music, and sometimes visual aids, creating an engaging experience. Katha serves as a means of preserving history, values, and beliefs, fostering community connection. Its performance is not just about recounting events but also about conveying deeper insights and emotions, enabling listeners to reflect and find personal relevance in the stories shared.
