Kashi Tamil Sangamam 5.0

Kashi Tamil Sangamam 5.0 runs from 28 November 2026 to 12 December 2026. About the programme, in the organisers’ own words: “The Kashi Tamil Sangamam (KTS) is a continuing journey in search of knowledge and identifying the oneness of Indian culture. Building on the success of previous editions, this initiative strengthens the cultural and intellectual ties between Tamil Nadu and Kashi, embodying the spirit of Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat.” Theme: “Thirukkural Payilvom – Thirukkural Abhyas Karen”. Thirukkural is the classical Tamil text of ethics and conduct. How selection works, from the official site: “After registration, you will need to take a quiz to be eligible for shortlisting. The date of the quiz and instructions for attending will be sent to your registered email.
