A book launch in India can be many things: a pustak vimochan with a senior writer releasing the book on stage, a reading at a neighbourhood bookshop, a panel discussion at a literature club, or a quiet evening at a cultural centre followed by tea and signed copies. Authors, especially those publishing their first book or a collection of poems in Hindi, Marathi or Bengali, often organise it themselves on a small budget.
A free invite page gives the evening a proper programme. List the release, the reading, the panel and the signing with times and a map to the venue, add the book cover and a photo of the author, and let readers say they are coming so the organiser can plan seating and copies. Write the page in English and Hindi or any Indian script, and print the QR card for the bookshop counter.
