THE KATHA CHUDAMANI AWARD

In celebration of the tenth year of Katha in 1999, we initiated the Katha Chudamani Award, to honour a writer of enduring excellence. The Katha Chudamani is given to a wordsmith whose works showcase creativity of a rare calibre. The Katha Chudamani honours the writer with a citation, a cash award of Rs 51,000, and publishes, in English translation, as many of her/his significant works, as possible.
