The Jaipur Literature Festival is the biggest and the most prestigious literary festival in Asia-Pacific. It is no secret that one would find the who'ÂÂs who of the literary world rubbing shoulders and cheeks here. Celebrity spotting, book signing, photo-ops with authors is something that can only happen at the Jaipur Lit Fest. Debate sessions and workshops with authors are hotspots for scintillating discussions, intellectual and otherwise. A chilled glass of beer at the beer shamiana and a music performance in the evening, often a Sufi qawwali or Rajasthani folk music, are the perfect end to a glittering affair.
