The Jaipur Literature Festival

The Jaipur Literature Festival – always colorful, often controversial -- is the premier literary event in the country, and befitting its status, has a permanent slot on the cultural calendar, between January 24 and 28. The event, traditionally held in the spectacular Diggi Palace, features readings of their works by top Indian and international authors, workshops, debate, participatory discussions and, by way of relief from words, an array of cultural performances that light up the evenings.
