About this event
The fair's own website states the 2026 edition plainly: 4 to 15 December 2026 at Gandhi Maidan, Patna, organised by CRD, the 42nd year of a fair running since 1985, with more than 200 publishers and exhibitors and some 300 sessions. The fair is one of the winter anchors of Bihar's cultural calendar and draws readers from across the state. No entry price is published on the organiser's site, so no price is shown.
