A galaxy of Telugu writing luminaries is descending tonite to honor Alaparti's latest. Nostalgia or novelty value, this is an evening for anyone who stopped Telugu with Class X.

A devotional musical program, Ramabhakti Samrajyam, comprising of songs on Lord Rama, will first be performed by C Krishna Kumari and group, and this will be followed by the book release.

Two books, Manchi Gandham and Ayinavallu, both written by Alaparti Ramakrishna, will be released. The chief guest for the evening is renowned writer Dr Vasireddy Seetadevi, and the event will be presided over by another writing luminary, Dr Ravoori Bharadwaj. The sabha will be inaugurated by Dr K V Krishna Kumari, a novelist.
