We are building Lokkatha, a Streamlit web app hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, designed to collect and preserve Indian folk stories, proverbs, and short tales in users’ native languages.

Users can:

Write stories in languages like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and more.

Select the language of their submission.
