The Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) 2026, often called the world’s largest literary gathering, is set to take place from January 15 to 19 at Hotel Clarks Amer in Jaipur. Now in its 19th edition, the festival will bring together more than 500 speakers and host over 300 sessions that span literature, history, politics, science, technology, art, climate action, poetry and global issues.
Organised annually by Teamwork Arts and the Jaipur Virasat
Foundation, the festival’s programme will be spread across iconic venues such
as Front Lawn, Charbagh, Surya Mahal, Durbar Hall and Baithak. Speakers include
internationally acclaimed writers, thinkers and cultural figures, making this
year’s edition one of the most comprehensive and diverse in recent memory.
The event continues JLF’s tradition of inclusive dialogue
and cultural exchange, inviting audiences to engage directly with voices
from around the world. Sessions will explore contemporary issues alongside
literary art, offering attendees a dynamic and immersive intellectual
experience.
Unique Importance:
• Global Reach: With speakers from India and abroad, JLF has become a
major platform for international literary and cultural discourse.
• Diverse Themes: The festival goes beyond books to include debates on
science, politics, climate and social change, making it relevant to a wide
audience
• Open Engagement: Traditionally free or affordable to attend for most
sessions, JLF fosters democratic access to ideas and creativity.
• Cultural Integration: By blending literary discussions with music,
performance and art, the festival celebrates India’s cultural diversity and
global narratives in one space.
Organisers and fans alike say JLF is more than a festival —
it’s a confluence of ideas and conversations that transcends boundaries
and connects readers, writers, thinkers and creators from across the globe.
