Unlike previous years, all events will be free of charge for the public, following criticism over the high cost of tickets.
The festival will include discussions, lectures, theatre, dance performances, qawwali, and will host foreign delegates from the UK, Canada, USA, and India.
Among the foreign delegates, Javed Akhtar will launch his new book and participate in the mushaira, a poetic symposium.
