This paper presents the study of the ghazals of Jeet Thayil, an Indian poet in English writing, as cultural performance. Ghazals, since time immemorial, have been a performing art having an overt link with culture. In due course of performance, it also emerged with music and became one of the most interesting and entertaining genre of poetry. It is obvious that any poetic art is the representation of the then prevailing culture. Hence when Jeet Thayil composed his ghazals, undoubtedly, there is the presence of culture in them as well as poetic performance also became a culture in the world of readers and audience covering print, electronic and Social media in the concurrent scenario. With a strong cultural foundation in India and a resonance with universal issues, Thayil's work presents a singular artistic expression that combines ancient ghazal forms with contemporary sensibilities. This study investigates how Thayil's ghazals serve as vibrant cultural performances that reflect and interact with the complexity of modern Indian society through a detailed examination of his poetic devices, topics, and cultural allusions. This study examines how Thayil's ghazals participate in larger discussions about tradition and modernity, negotiate linguistic traditions, and enact cultural identities. It does this by drawing on themes from performance studies, literary analysis, and cultural studies. Through an analysis of the performative aspects of Thayil's poetry, this paper illuminates the ways in which his works interact with and reflect upon India's cultural milieu, leading to a deeper comprehension of the function of literature as a medium for cultural expression and interpretation.
