Key Points

The Gitanjali Literary Prize was established in 2012 as a Franco-Indian literary award. The Mohsen Hachtroudi Foundation and CHG Earth Group founded it (a hotel company in India).
A Gitanjali Medal, a 15-day literary sojourn, and a translation of the work are awarded to a Francophone and an Indian author, respectively.
The French book will be edited in India by an Indian editor and the book in any of the Indian languages will be published by a French editor.
Many of the major Indian regional languages, as well as any Francophone country, are eligible. All works and genres that relate to the year's theme are eligible for the prize.
The prize is named for the collection of poems Gitanjali (1910) by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
