Heggodu in K'taka thrives as theatre hub since 1949 initiative

Nestled in Karnataka's Shimoga, Heggodu is a village where theatre thrives as a shared community experience, not a privilege of the elite. Since 1949, when KV Subbanna introduced theatre to the village, art has become an everyday part of life for farmers, tailors, and schoolchildren alike. His efforts sparked a cultural movement rooted deeply in rural life.
