The Brahmaputra Literature Festival will for the first time move out of Assam as a special edition will be hosted at the New Delhi World Book Fair from February 6 to 8.

With an eclectic mix of 42 speakers across 12 sessions spread over the three days, this edition promises a journey through the rich tapestry of literature, art, and ideas that define the northeastern region.

Among the speakers are award-winning authors Arup Kumar Dutta, Rita Chowdhury and Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih, writer-translator Mitra Phukan and writer-artist Parismita Singh.

The festival will conclude on a musical high with a performance by poet, songwriter and academic Maitrayee Patar.
