Ovis are devotional Marathi lyrics traditionally used by women while doing grinding work at home. They are four liners which form part of Marathi literature in Dnyaneshwari and Dasbodh. To remind one and all about this rich Marathi tradition and sweetness of the language, Planet Marathi will be offering this treasure series of Ovis on the occasion of Diwali.  These Ovis have references to many important happenings from our history. This will help the new generation to understand our Marathi culture better.

Speaking about this presentation, Planet Marathi chief Akshay Bardapurkar said, “Our effort is to revive the traditional Maharashtrian culture, by introducing these traditional Ovis to the new generation . And, there is no better time than Diwali, which is festival of happiness.”
