Meghalaya is set to take its growing literary and cultural footprint to the national capital with the Department of Tourism organising the Shillong Literary Festival 2026 – New Delhi Prelude at Bikaner House on May 8 and 9.
The second day of the Shillong Literary Festival 2025 unfolded with a compelling blend of policy announcements, book launches, literary conversations, and cultural performances, reaffirming Shillong’s growing stature as a national hub for arts and ideas.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Friday said that investments made in five major concerts held in 2024 generated an estimated ₹133 crore for the local economy, directly benefiting a wide spectrum of stakeholders—from homestay owners and taxi operators to small shopkeepers.
The 5th Shillong Literary Festival 2025 was inaugurated on Thursday at Ward’s Lake, draped in pink cherry blossoms, drawing eminent authors, columnists, and artists from across the globe.
The tranquil beauty of Ward’s Lake became a vibrant hub of intellectual and cultural exchange on the concluding day of the Shillong Literary Festival. A notable highlight was an engaging conversation with Turkish Ambassador and acclaimed novelist Fırat Sunel.
