BITS PILANI - Goa Campus

One of the fastest-growing  festivals ,  Waves  the Cultural Fest of  BITS PILANI - Goa Campus  is one of the top-rated College  Festivals  of the country. Let's not talk much about its history which can be known from Wiki also. Instead, I'll just mention a few of the best things which ever happened in the country.  Last year, Waves was the first-ever College Fest to associate with  Sunburn  and together hold  Sunburn Campus , a pre-Sunburn event in the Campus, which later went to other colleges too! It won't be hard for you to tell at how high a rate, the current graph is tending to rise. And since it's Goa, it's getting a mix of how  amazing  celebrations can be like. :P  None of the fests have ever seen such a peak in so little time. The best part about  Waves  is that  not even a single penny  is funded by the government unlike many big cultural  festivals  in India. Everything from b...

Happy Navratri

  Happy Navratri & Hopes Bonhomie Continues Forever “Festivals Teach Us To Live Together As Humans” Happy Navratri Festivals are a way to celebrate our culture, heritage, and traditions. But much more than that, festivals are special occasions to realize that we are humans beyond our religion, color, caste, and creed. The moments of rejoicing inspire us to share our love and bonhomie with others too, irrespective of whether they are of the same religion or not. It is this feeling of oneness and brotherhood that noted entrepreneur  wants us to feel and share beyond this year’s Navratri festival. As this year’s Navratri – the nine days on which nine different forms of Goddess Durga are celebrated, worshipped, and cherished – draws to a close, Mr. Sarkar has wished all his Hindu brothers and sisters ‘Happy Durga Puja’ and with that, he has a wish that he wants to share with everyone. In his words, “Indians come in all hues and shades and so are our festivals. While I may cele...

Dussehra

The Victory of Good over Evil In Dussehra Dussehra falls two or three weeks prior to Diwali. Thus, it falls usually around September to October. Everyone waits for this festival eagerly. It brings great reasons to rejoice by all. The ladies prep for their pujas while the men buy crackers and more to celebrate it heartily. Dussehra is also known as Vijayadashami in some regions of India. If we set aside the regional differences, the main events of this festival have one motto i.e. the victory of good over evil. In other words, this festival signifies the victory of the power of good over that of the power of evil. If we look at the Hindu mythology, it says that on this day Goddess Durga removed the demon called Mahishasura from the earth. Similarly, other traditions believe that Lord Rama fought and eliminated the Demon King Ravana on this very day. Thus, we see how both events have the same outcome. The outcome that is of light over dark, truth over lies and good over evil. Therefo...

Durga Puja

Corona demons tower over India's Durga Puja festival Every autumn the streets of Kolkata come alive with the sounds of Durga Puja. The Hindu festival, which celebrates the triumph of good over evil, is marked in West Bengal and neighbouring states as a time for dancing, drumming, eating and worship. Yet the festival’s most defining feature are the pandals - displays of towering religious sculptures depicting the story of Durga Puja: the moment that the Hindu goddess Durga triumphed over the demon Mahishasura. Pandals are known for their creativity, and this year, as the festival began on Thursday under the shadow and restrictions of Covid-19, it was no different. But now, in several pandals, instead of the usual sculptures of the Mahishasura demon, a new malevolent being has been put in its place: the coronavirus demon, better known as the Coronasura. The Coronasura has taken several shapes. In some pandals, the head has been made to look like a Sars-CoV-2 particle, with its head c...
