Founded in 2006, the Jaipur Literature Festival is an annual literary festival which takes place in the Indian city of Jaipur each January. JLF provided a platform for international authors and Indian language authors from the subcontinent to engage in a literary dialogue. With an approximate attendance of nearly 100,000 annually, the festival draws hordes of audience and guests from over the world during the 5-day event, which usually takes place in the third week of January. Each year, participants from Nobel laureates to local writers and from Man Booker Prize winners to debutant novelists engage into readings, debates, discussions along with the audience at the elegant Diggi Palace. This event is now increasingly regarded as a catalyst for cultural intermingling within India and across the world.
