A strong wave of enthusiasm is sweeping across GenZ as they gear up for the Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0, beginning on December 2. The event aims to connect the ancient cultural and linguistic ties between Kashi and Tamil Nadu with the vibrant energy of the young generation.
A large number of GenZ students are part of the first delegation that began its journey from Kanyakumari on November 29 by a special train. The long rail journey has turned into a cultural joy ride filled with games, group activities, lively conversations, and creative collaborations—making the experience both memorable and meaningful for the youth.
Archana from Tamil Nadu, who is travelling on this special train, shared her excitement about attending Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0. She said she rarely gets the chance to visit temples back home, and therefore sees this opportunity as a divine blessing. She is eagerly looking forward to experiencing Kashi’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage for the first time.
