Saarang, IIT Madras

Saarang, the annual cultural festival of IIT Madras, is the largest student-run festival in India and the second oldest college festival in India. Since its humble beginnings as Mardi Gras, the fest has set the standard for cultural festivals all over, with Saarang's latest edition seeing 80,000 visitors from across the country partaking in the dynamic events over the course of 5 days. The nights at Saarang have witnessed phenomenal performances from both eminent Indian artists including Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Farhan Akhtar, Rajesh Vaidya and Shobana and famed international artists like Opeth, AronChupa, Dubvision, and Katatonia. Saarang aims to give back to society and has reached out to its surrounding community through its social campaigns over the years. The past year, through its social campaign “Urjam”, Saarang raised awareness on Energy Conservation by enabling conversations and sensitising audiences on the issue.
