Tarpan is a musical poetry series presented by poet and presenter Kumar Vishwas.[1][2] It is an appreciation of poets who are now dead, presented through readings of their work by Vishwas against a background of music. The series has its origin in Vishwas dedicating a song to Bharat Bhushan via his poem "Yah Asangati".[3] This came as an afterwork of Mahakavi series that was aired on ABP News which appealed to Hindi audiences.[4]
