Nalanda  Literature  Festival being one of the Biggest Literature Festivals across the nation doesn’t just celebrate poetry but it also celebrates the embeded silence within the poetry which is as loud as to disect any hurdle in the process of expressing emotions and as quiet as finding the stillness within the emotive waves. The Poetry sessions of Nalanda literature Festival have been the sessions of expressions, inghts and earnest discussions while connecting poetry with the Ancient Idea of Silence embeded within its own land of Nalanda. In her One of her poems “Nalanda ke khandahar” by “Nirmala Garg”, she expresses that the fine touch of history was so powerful at Nalanda that her whole body shivers there .               

“ इतिहास का स्पर्श इतना सघन था वहाँ सिहर उठी थी

मेरी समूची देह “1

Silence is deeply embedded within the philosophical doctrines of Nalanda and hence within the poetry gatherings of Nalanda Literature Festival but Unlike the Silence in disguise the silence of poetic gatherings at Nalanda Literature Festival is a Symbolistic silence and deeply rooted in narrowing down the inner chaos and recognizing the roar of expressing things. The Poetic sessions of this festival will lead you to think within yourselves and will provide you a silent escape to the most talkative world of emotions. None Poetry is absolute emotive it is filled with relative emotions connecting us through this world but for that connection one needs to settle the massive waves of thoughts and let their inner floor of mind and heart be crystal clear. Since Nalanda has also been the Land of Budha, “Nirmala Garg” remembers him and his doctrines on Silence in her “Nalanda ke Khandahar “ Poem.

नालंदा तुम्हारी प्रिय जगहों में रही है बुद्ध… ..

मैं देख रही हूँ तुम टहल रहे हो विश्राम कर रहे हो

भीतर गहन उद्वेग से भरे ऊपर से दीखते

सौम्य शांत… 2

Poetry is not where we always express our emotions sometimes it serves as a soft escape to a less chaotic world or Silent World and Nalanda Literature Festival and its Poetry Sessions are the testaments of this very Idea.
