During the Indian independence movement, Umashankar Joshi, Sundaram and Ramprasad Shukla used to go to office of Kumar magazine at night and used to discuss their poetry.

So the weekly Budh Sabha, literally Wednesday meet, was established in 1932 by Bachubhai Ravat, then editor of Kumar magazine.

[1] In Budh Sabha, the president Dhiru Parikh (Bachubhai Ravat formerly) collects poems from all attending poets first.

In 1998, similar workshop called Shani Sabha (Saturday Meet) is also started by Chinu Modi for the modern poets.

[4] Budh Sabha helped nurture several prominent Gujarati poets and writers like Umashankar Joshi, Rajendra Shah, Harshad Trivedi, Chinu Modi, Niranjan Bhagat, Raghuveer Chaudhari, Pravin Pandya, Rajendra Shukla, Rajesh Vyas, Bhavesh Bhatt, Anil Chavda and Ashok Chavda.
