Indrāni

The cultural focus is on Broņislava Martuževa and the places dedicated to her life and poetic work. These include an open-air stone garden, the Dzejas stropi, and the Broņislavas Martuževas Dzejas klēts. This profile is complemented by events featuring songs, instrumental accompaniment, and visual art.

The surrounding area also has its own character. Indrānu pagasts belongs to the Lubāna Plain in the lowlands of eastern Latvia. Alongside the cultural sites, landscape and nature themes therefore form independent aspects of a visit, including the animal displays in Rozas.

“Broņislavas Rakstu akmeņi” is an open-air stone garden created by the sculptor Ģirts Burvis. Several monumental boulder compositions are inspired by the poet’s life and poetry. The site thus combines large-scale stone elements with a biographical and literary theme.

The Dzejas stropi are also among the named components of the memorial and visitor complex dedicated to Broņislava Martuževa. The Spoguļvirsmas slēptuve is dedicated to the resistance movement. As a result, the cultural profile encompasses not only direct engagement with Martuževa’s poems, but also a historical aspect of remembrance.

The Broņislava Poetry Day had already reached its eighth edition in the garden of the Martuževa Dzejas klēts. Its programme includes live performances of songs by Broņislava Martuževa, as well as songs by Jānis Lūsēns with instrumental accompaniment. This creates an event format for visitors in which literature is not only exhibited, but can also be heard in musical form.

The venue for the Poetry and Song Day is located in the picturesque corner where the Liede and Aiviekste rivers meet. This setting adds a clearly stated landscape connection to the literary focus, without allowing any particular route or distance to other places to be inferred from it.

At the 2026 event, the exhibition “Uzglezno Martuževas dzejoli” by the artists’ group from Lubāna can be seen. It transfers motifs and values from Martuževa’s works into the language of visual art. Those wishing to focus their visit on the cultural programme will therefore find here a different way of engaging with the poet than in the stone garden or at the song performances.

For a comparison with other destinations, you can also visit Meirāni and Lubāna. This allows Indrāni to be considered within a broader travel plan alongside other entries, without reducing the place to just one attraction or event date.
