We’re Back!!

From the modest beginnings as Mardi Gras, Saarang has achieved an iconic status today as the mother of all cultural fests.
Saarang 2009 was an astounding success, unquestionably the high point in the festival’s 40 year history. With performances from artists like Sonu Nigam adding to the festive atmosphere and initiatives like the 3-day long theater-fest, Saarang village and Mardras-Chennai express, Saarang 2009 ventured into hitherto unexplored territories and diversified itself to cater to a bigger audience.
Words are simply not enough to describe the atmosphere during the spell binding and magical night that was the rock show. And the perpetrators of this magic were Opeth, the Swedish death metal band who were performing for the first time in India. Holding ten thousand young adults captive for any amount of time is no mean feat. The fact that Opeth pulled it off for a few hours at a stretch just asserts to their greatness.
All of these efforts contributed toward Saarang 2009 setting new standards as far as student run cultural fests go.
And after a six month hiatus, the Saarang team is up and running again! Because who better to break those records set by Saarang 2009 than Saarang 2010?
With bigger professional shows and a think tank to give Saarang a fresh new look, Saarang 2010 is a stage set for exceeding expectations. With greater incentives and better platforms for participants, a long list of celebrities from varied fields of entertainment and a lot of informal events to keep you entertained, Saarang 2010 is all set to captivate and enchant you!
As we at IIT-M like to say, Saarang doesn’t meet your expectations, it exceeds them. We can at times find ourselves rushing and forgetting the important things that life has to offer. Saarang, in its essence is just a gentle reminder to us all that life is about living. To quote a participant,
“Love life, Live a Saarang”
