It is a 3-day event that takes place in India’s cleanest city, Indore. It is also popularly known as ‘Indore ka tyohaar'. Acclaimed and prominent personalities from all around India come together with 'Lit-चौक' to talk about important aspects of society and share their experiences, helping bright young minds to shape their thoughts and learn from what they have to say.
