The second edition of the Wayanad Literature Festival, which is regarded as the largest rural literary event in the country, would be held at Dwaraka in Mananthavady on December 27, 28, and 29.
Around 250 writers, cultural figures, filmmakers, and artists from India and abroad are expected to take part in the fest. In light of the recent landslides in Wayanad, this year’s festival may also serve as a source of solace for the local community.
The first edition, which was staged in 2022, was widely acclaimed. Over 100 notable figures in literature and culture served as panellists, and the event attracted 1,000 delegates and around 20,000 spectators. The inaugural edition was launched by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
