SOUTH INDIA’S LARGEST LITERATURE FESTIVAL - KA 2027

Jan 28–31, 2027

Kanakakkunnu, Thiruvananthapuram · Keralam, India

THEME OF THE YEAR ERA OF RIDDLES (കാലത്തിന്റെ കടങ്കഥകൾ)

Every era is defined by the questions it cannot easily answer.

Today, humanity faces unprecedented dilemmas, where technology outpaces ethics, identity challenges belonging, and progress often comes at the cost of preservation. The world is no longer divided by simple binaries, but shaped by complex contradictions.

Illustration: a glossy red pipe winds through hand-drawn red lettering — Revolutionist, Inventor, Destroyed, Catalyst for change — around an open eye on a pink ground.
