Despite security concerns, the Ninth Jaipur literature festival is all set to begin at Diggi Palace on Friday. A battery of big names is on its lists, including Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood and British comedian Stephen Fry, expected to draw at least 1.5 lakh people over the next five days.

The venue of the famous Jaipur literature festival, Diggi Palace, could be running into a controversy before this year's programme, which will begin later this week.
