Literature culture rings in the Himalayas at Bhutan litfest

Seen as a window to unmask the shrouded mystery of Bhutan by celebrating its literature, art, culture and music, the annual “Mountain Echoes” festival’s fifth edition kicks off here Thursday.

The three day festival promises to offer a balanced account of many myths, peek into Bhutan’s textiles and soulful music, along with staple dose of democracy, crime and gender writing.
