Verba Maximus 2019

Verba Maximus is South India's first and largest literary fest hosted solely by the students of BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. From being a small gathering of literary enthusiasts in its first edition in 2012, it has now grown into one of the biggest congregations of talent in the country.
