The Moradabad Literature Festival, Udeesha 2026, will be held from 22 January 2026, and will bring together literature, performance, and public discourse from the cities of Moradabad and beyond. Spread across five days and concluding on January 26, the festival is designed as an open cultural forum that brings together writers, poets, performers, scholars, and audiences from across the country. The core aim of the Festival of Dialogue is to foster an environment that is accessible, authentic, and grounded in diversity and relevance.

The Festival of Dialogue will take place at several locations throughout the city, including Dushyant Manch, Ramganga Lawns, and the Jaun Elia Zone. Each location will host sessions that reflect the many forms culture takes in everyday life. Literary discussions and book conversations will sit alongside poetry recitations, theatre, Dastangoi, folk and classical music performances, Bhojpuri cultural programmes, and interactive workshops. Rather than separating literature from other art forms, Udeesha places them in conversation with each other, allowing audiences to move freely between listening, watching, and participating.
