Fairs are like any other festivals in Kolkata. These churn out an excellent opportunity for the people to spend quality time in the afternoon or evening with friends and family. However, book fairs have been in a bit of more interest because these together with the guarantee of an excellent outing provide the best food for the eyes and mind. These kinds of fairs come with the license to explore deep into the world of books of one’s choice.

The 6th Bangladesh Book Fair is organized at Rabindra Sadan premises in Kolkata. The event has brought the publishers, booksellers and book lovers on the solid turf to share, care, and exchange ideas. It’s one of a kind fair for the book lovers here because it’s paving an excellent way to know and learn more about the neighboring writers and their creative literature.

Besides, regular seminars and cultural programs are going on as well for the engagement and entertainment of the visitors. These seminars are educative in nature and much could be traced out and learned about the present status of the creative arts. Nevertheless, the cultural programs unfold and introduce various talented artists and their artworks about whom we have heard but never had the opportunity to see them performing live in front of us.

Beyond any doubt, it’s turning out to be one of the most happening places in the city right now. The rows of bookstalls contain libraries of books suiting the taste and temperaments of all the age groups. Pick a book, turn over the pages one by one and if it isn’t the one you are looking for then pick upanother.

We hope the fair gets a grand success here because it would open the corridors for such fairs in the future as well. Fairs from across the geographical borders have so much educative values. These are in fact like a grand platform from where we get to know about the culture, tradition, creation and literature popular in the other regions of the globe.
