The objective of the festival is to promote the brand image of Hyderabad as a city of creative energies. The festival brings some of the finest creative minds in India and abroad to the city every year.

The National Geographic Traveler mentioned the festival as a ‘must attend’ event in January, he added. HLF had a unique feature as each year HLF invited a foreign country to showcase its literature art and culture. Germany, France, Ireland, Poland and Singapore were the guest nations at the festival, he added.
