Welcome to Shivamogga Lit Fest

Shivamogga Lit Fest intends to highlight the literary and cultural diversity of the Malnad region, creating a conducive platform for thought-provoking and captivating intellectual deliberations.

The festival is an autonomous, community-sponsored literary conclave rooted in the land of literary giants.

Core Objectives

• Autonomous Platform: The festival is a community-driven literary gathering, functioning as an independent and autonomous initiative supported by local patrons and art enthusiasts.

• The Idea of Bharat: It is an attempt to showcase “The Idea of Bharat”—the ancient Indian wisdom of peace, brotherhood, and universal well-being—from the heart of Malnad to the global stage.

• Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: Guided by the noble vision of “Udara Charitanam Tu Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (For the large-hearted, the entire world is one family), the fest organizes intellectual discourse featuring the finest literary minds from across the globe.

This literary festival honors the rich legacy of Shivamogga while serving as a bridge to introduce our cultural roots and Indian ethos to the modern world.
