At Jaipur litfest, fashion makes a splash as well

JAIPUR LITERATURE FESTIVAL, regarded by many as the 'greatest literary show on Earth', is not just an annual congregation of the who's who of the art and cultural world, but it also brings together the diversity that exists among the page 3 glitterati, who parade through the venues and streets of Jaipur highlighting their own personal sense of style as well as expression.

The five-day event is currently underway in the Pink City till February 5. From quintessential Indianwear - saris, dhotis and kurtas - to hip and vibrant streetwear, from chic to bohemian, vivid styles are on display this year too, as people assume a place for themselves at the widely-attended festival and express a part of themselves through fashion.

Interestingly, saris remain popular and not just among women. "I had decided that if I attend this fest, I am going to that wearing a sari as it's like draping a part of our culture," said 20-year-old Reetika Kalakoti, a literature student from Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
