Jaipur Literature Festival

The world's largest free literary event

Across India, January is increasingly being associated with literature festivals. Jaipur’s literature festival started off as a small effort and today is being touted as ‘the world’s largest free literary event’. The festival celebrates indigenous and international literature, with an inimical selection of authors and other personalities gracing the stage, attracting a culture-hungry audience from across the world. This festival has made Jaipur “the literature capital of the country”.
