In February 2024, the 17th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival took place in the Pink City of Jaipur, Rajasthan. It was a magnificent success, affirming the power of words and ideas through a remarkable line-up of speakers and sessions. The Festival's indomitable and inspiring spirit resonated with audiences both digitally and in person.

In September, the vibrant energy of the Jaipur Festival returned to Houston. The 7th edition of JLF Houston was held at Asia Society Texas, Rothko Chapel, Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston from September 6th to 8th, 2024.

Once again, we celebrated the distinct culture, diversity, and dynamic energy of the Bayou City, bringing forth our signature camaraderie, a caravan of ideas, and the enchanting flow of conversations that made the festival truly incredible! Sessions ranged from exploring women musicians who flourished in the gramophone era, the intersection of medicine and literature, Indian influences in Japanese art, the pressing issue of wildfires and their impact on the present and future of our globe, as well as discussions on prose, poetry, and politics.

The edition was met with tremendous acclaim!
