* Bhartiya Reads, Readers' Lounge, Open Mics And Writing Workshops
As Bengaluru's reading culture continues to flourish, the Big Bangalore Book Fest returns to Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru for its fourth edition in association with Crossword and specially curated literary events in collaboration with Poets Of Bangalore. Featuring over one lakh books, the festival goes beyond a traditional book sale with the launch of Bhartiya Reads, a community-led book club, a dedicated Readers' Lounge, storytelling sessions, open mic & poetry sessions and writing workshops for aspiring writers. Bringing together readers, authors, and literary enthusiasts under one roof, the festival aims to create a lasting platform for the city's growing literary community.
One of the key highlights of this year's edition is the launch of Bhartiya Reads, a community-driven book club designed to foster meaningful engagement among Bengaluru's readers through shared reading experiences, discussions, and literary conversations that extend beyond the festival itself.
Visitors can also unwind at the specially curated Readers' Lounge, a comfortable space created for immersive reading and quiet reflection. Beyond the duration of the festival, the lounge will continue to function as a weekend reading destination, providing a permanent space for the city's book lovers to meet up.
The festival will showcase an extensive collection of over one lakh books spanning a wide range of genres, including bestselling fiction, thrillers, mythology, business, self-help, and children's literature, offering something for readers of every age and interest.
Adding to the literary experience, the festival will host a vibrant lineup of open mics, poetry readings, and storytelling sessions, creating opportunities for readers, performers, and storytellers to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate creativity together.
Aspiring writers will also have the opportunity to participate in workshops focused on storytelling, writing, and publishing fundamentals. Led by experienced speakers and industry professionals, these sessions are designed to offer practical insights and guidance to emerging authors.
