Special Diwali Issues in Marathi

Maharashtra has a wonderful tradition in marathi literary scene. Almost all daily, weekly and monthly publications take out special issues for Diwali. This offers a widest variety of writing of accomplished, renowned as well as of new and upcoaming writers and poets to be available at one time. This tradition has completed its century this year.

It might be worth an idea to urge local libraries to procures some issues. This year these are typically priced at indian Rs 60 to Rs100 each.

Now there are some online issues too. Some of those are www.manogat.com, www.upakram.org, www.mayboli.com.  This is a good opportunity for marathi readers who are living outside maharashtra and do not have easy access to printed marathi matter.
