Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) is organized at Diggi Palace every year in the month of January in Jaipur. It is touted as the world’s largest free literature festival! Here are a few pictures in this blog on the Jaipur Literature Festival.
JLF is held every year in January. While it started as a literary event in 2006, over the years Jaipur Literature Festival has grown manifolds & has ceased to be merely a literary one! The event draws thousands of people every day to the festival venue. JLF is a five-day event and the sessions are held simultaneously at six locations inside Diggi Palace from 9.15 AM to 6.15 PM. There is JLF music show as well at a separate location in the evening. JLF after-parties are organized at Rambagh Palace Hotel and Clarks Amer Hotel in Jaipur. Here are few pictures from the Jaipur Literature Festival:
Jaipur Literature Festival has always maintained a very colourful look in true Rajasthani fashion. Many people love this feature -coloured look of the festival in a backdrop of heritage venue, right in the heart of the city. A very difficult combination to replicate!

Happy to check this out…especially because it is free and the largest such event!
A great way to socialize too. But why do they have parties?
The chai in kulhad looks so tempting, I had it once somewhere in India 😊

I’m happy you liked it Alok. JLF parties are great platform to interact with famous authors, writers and personas on one to one basis. Kulhad chai is very popular here in Lit Fest too! Partly because of novelty and also because of the cold weather. Kulhad tea is very popular in Kolkatta, as well.
