The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival returns from 23 to 27 October, exploring the theme ‘Satyam Vada Dharmam Chara: Speak the Truth, Practice Kindness’.

The theme of this year’s Festival, ‘Satyam Vada Dharmam Chara,’ originates from the epic Hindu scripture, the Mahabharata. Translated as Speak the Truth, Practice Kindness, it emphasizes truth and kindness as an essential human quality. It is linked to the philosophical concept of Balinese Hinduism, ‘Tri Pramana’, the three powers within humans: Bayu (wind), Sabda (speech), and Idep (mind), representing the abilities to live, speak, and think. 

Early bird tickets are on sale now at ubudwritersfestival.com/tickets. Discounts for KITAS/KITAP holders, ASEAN country citizens, and students are also available.

A diverse group of people sit closely together in an audience setting. Some are engaged in discussion while others appear to be listening attentively. A bamboo fence is visible in the background.
