The Jaipur Literature Festival is an annual literary festival taking place in the Indian city of Jaipur since 2006.〔(Literacy in India & the Jaipur Literature Festival ), 25 January 2010. "Today (Jan 2010 ) marks the end of the 5th annual Jaipur Literature Festival .. First organized in 2005.."〕 Asia's biggest literary festival,〔 it was described by Miranda Seymour in the ''Mail on Sunday'' of 10 August 2008 as "the grandest literary Festival of them all".
The Diggi Palace Hotel serves as the main venue of the festival. It is held each year in Jaipur, Rajasthan during the month of January, usually in the Hall of Audience and gardens of the Diggi Palace in the city centre, and celebrates excellence in Rajasthani, Indian and International writing. As the largest FREE literary festival on earth, JLF brings together some of the greatest thinkers and writers from across South Asia and the world. From Nobel laureates to local language writers, Man Booker prize winners to debut novelists, every January the most remarkable, witty, sensitive and brilliant collection of authors come together for five days of readings, debates and discussions at the beautiful Diggi Palace in the Rajasthani capital.
The festival directors are the writers Namita Gokhale and William Dalrymple and it is produced by Sanjoy Roy of Teamwork Productions. Surina Narula has been the Founder Sponsor and Festival Advisor for the literature festival. The Festival is an Initiative of the Jaipur Virasat Foundation founded by Faith Singh, originally as a segment of the Jaipur Heritage International Festival in 2006, and developed into a free-standing festival of literature standing on its own feet in 2008, and is now regarded as a cultural catalyst within India and around the world, exposing audiences to a constant flow of ideas. Featuring live music sessions and interactive workshops, the Festival provides a space to dare, dream and imagine.〔 JVF's Community Director Vinod Joshi is its regional advisor. All events at the festival are free and not ticketed.
The festival gained international media attention in 2012, because of a number of events related to Salman Rushdie and the ''Satanic Verses'' controversy. In recent years it faces media criticism and lampooning due to its perceived elitism, irrelevance, commercialization of literature and dependence on celebrities.
