Harikatha
Harikatha (lit. "stories of the Lord") or Harikathe (in Kannada), otherwise called ''Katha Kalakshepa'', is a form of Hindu religious discourse, also known as Katha storytelling, in which the story teller explores a religious theme, usually the life of a saint or a story from an Indian epic.
Harikatha is a composite art form composed of story telling, poetry, music, drama, dance, and philosophy. Any Hindu religious theme may be the subject for the ''Harikatha''. During its peak ''Harikatha'' was a popular medium of entertainment, which helped transmit cultural, educational and religious values to the masses.
Main aim of Hari Katha is to imbibe truth and righteousness in the minds of people and sow the seed of devotion in them. Also one of the aims is to educate them about knowledge of self(atman) through stories and show them the path of liberation.
==In Hindu mythology==
In Hindu mythology, the first Harikatha singer was sage Narada who sang for Vishnu, other prominent singers were Lava and Kusha twin sons of Rama, who sang the ''Ramayana'' in his court at Ayodhya.〔Singh, p. 2118〕
