Heritage and Tradition Shine at Chitkara University Teej Celebrations

The campus of Chitkara University came alive as the Teej festival unfolded in a vibrant display of tradition, community, and student expression. Organised by the Office of Student Affairs, the event celebrated cultural heritage while also creating space for creativity and togetherness among students and faculty.

The central stage at Square One resonated with the sounds of Punjabi folk dance and singing competitions, where students showcased not just their artistic talent but also their deep connection to culture.

The celebration extended beyond the stage into an open marketplace of student-led stalls. The stalls reflected a blend of artistry and enterprise, offering handcrafted jewellery, traditional attire, resin crafts, showpieces, and a diverse range of accessories. Adding to the festive atmosphere was a spread of homemade delicacies, highlighting the richness of culinary traditions. These efforts transformed the university into a living tapestry of culture, commerce, and creativity.

A special mehndi corner for faculty members became a highlight of the day. It was not merely about intricate designs but about conversations, laughter, and shared cultural touchpoints that strengthened bonds within the university community. As competitions concluded and winners were felicitated, the event left behind more than just accolades. It evoked an atmosphere filled with the sounds of music, the aroma of food, and the enduring symbols of tradition carried forward by the younger generation.

Teej at Chitkara University was not just a celebration but a reminder that heritage thrives when it is lived and experienced. It affirmed the university’s commitment to nurturing not only academic excellence but also cultural consciousness, ensuring that students remain connected to the roots that define their identity.
