In Jalgaon, a Dharangaon poet's work found an international audience. During Ganeshotsav celebrations, the Singapore Maharashtra Mandal organized a Je Je Uttam literary reading and appreciation event, where poems by Dr Sanjeevkumar Sonawane reached Singaporean listeners. Notably, poems like "The Story of Father Bringing Light" and "The Lamp of Knowledge" were presented and appreciated by Shital Bhatia, a Dharangaon resident currently working as Director of Engineering at Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel).
Bhatia's presentation was met with enthusiasm from Marathi poetry enthusiasts in Singapore. Established in 1994, the Singapore Maharashtra Mandal has been committed to preserving Marathi language, literature, and culture, as well as fostering unity among Maharashtrians residing in Singapore. The annual Ganeshotsav festival, the Mandal's most popular event, is sponsored by the Language Department of the Government of Maharashtra and the State Marathi Development Institute.
Bhatia, a university gold medallist in Master of Engineering, continues to stay connected to Marathi culture despite her international career.
