Jaipur Literature Festival

Held over several days, the festival programmes public sessions with authors, poets, historians and public figures on a very wide range of subjects, many sessions free and open to the public alongside ticketed elements. It draws a substantial general public audience, not only a literary crowd, and is generally considered one of the larger literary festivals of its kind.

The festival is typically held in January each year, with specific dates and the full author line-up announced by the organisers ahead of the event. Confirm the current year's dates and programme before planning travel around it. (confirmed on enquiry)

Since the festival falls within Rajasthan's best travel season (October to March), it combines naturally with a wider Jaipur or Rajasthan itinerary — the Amber Fort, City Palace and old-city bazaars are all within easy reach of the festival venue.
