Lohri Fest

The Lohri Fest captures the vibrant energy and rich colours of the northern states it represents—a kind of beauty that compels you to pause, take it in, and fall in love with the culture. From the land of five rivers to the serene hills of the north, the diversity woven into this fest only adds to its charm. It is through the unity and enthusiasm of students from these regions that the celebration truly comes alive, with stunning décor that transforms and brightens the entire campus.

Celebrating the Spirit of Lohri

The celebrations kick off with a lively pre-fest evening, where students relish hot chhole kulche and sweet lassi while dancing their hearts out to vibrant beats from Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.

The main fest is marked by energetic dance performances by each batch, choreographed to both high-energy Punjabi and Haryanvi songs as well as soft, melodious beats of the mountains. The highlight of the evening is the special dinner, wholeheartedly hosted by the Lohri fest community for the entire campus. Iconic dishes such as Butter chicken, Shahi Paneer, Naan, Pahadi Aaloo gobhi are served, and the grand feast ends with Kulfi leaving a sweet impression until the next time.
