Newdelhi:22/1/26:The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s tableau, “Bharat Gatha: Shruti, Kriti, Drishti,” presents a powerful visual narrative of India’s civilisational journey in storytelling, from ancient oral traditions to its emergence as a global content and media powerhouse. The tableau reflects the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat, seamlessly blending cultural heritage with technological innovation.
