Haryanvi culture takes centre stage at Rang Tarang

Vibrant hues of culture and tradition came alive at Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) with Rang Tarang, an event that captured the essence of Haryanvi culture and timeless Bollywood melodies.

The event, showcasing a blend of soulful music and dance performances, brought the curtain down on Rang Mahotsav-2025, organised by the Students’ Welfare Office of the university.

Director (PR) Sunit Mukherjee delivered the welcome address.

Vice-Chancellor Rajbir Singh presided over the cultural programme.

He said the event was a platform to promote the cultural talent of the university. Philanthropist Rajesh Jain, as the guest of honour, stressed upon the importance of cultural hues in life.

Dean (Students’ Welfare) Randeep Rana, who was the convener of Rang Mahotsav, said the event effectively showcased Haryanvi culture. Rana said the event not only celebrated local customs, but also blended the vibrancy of Haryanvi music, dance and folk art with other cultural influences — including Bollywood classics.

Director (Youth Welfare) and Rang Tarang convener Dr Partap Rathee delivered the vote of thanks.

Director, CCPC, Divya Malhan also addressed the gathering at the event.

A musical performance by MDU’s Aryan Band mesmerised the audience. Led by Department of Music faculty member Dr Saurabh Verma, students created an atmosphere of musical bliss. Students of IMSAR and GVM Girls College, Sonepat, presented a retro Bollywood dance performance.
