Can you imagine Navratri without a Garba night?
That’s like picturing Diwali without diyas or Holi without colours. On 26th September 2025, Bennett University proved once again that celebration is best done together, with an electrifying Garba Night 6.0 on the iconic C5 stage. With the beats of dhol, the energy of 3,000–4,000 students, and DJ Kunal spinning fire tracks, the campus transformed into a full-blown carnival of dance, culture, and togetherness.

The dress code? Purely traditional Gujarati attire—and everyone showed up in style. Flowing lehengas, vibrant kediyas, mirror-work dupattas, and dazzling jewelery made the night nothing less than a live reel of festivity. But it wasn’t just the dance floor that pulled the crowd—students also flocked to food stalls lined up by outside vendors, serving everything from tangy chaat and sizzling rolls to irresistible desserts.
The evening began with a graceful performance by the students of the Law School, setting the cultural tone of the night. Soon after, Rivaaz—the dance club of Bennett—took over and turned the stage into a powerhouse of synchronised moves and vibrant expressions. Their high-energy sets blended the traditional Garba rhythm with contemporary style, keeping the crowd cheering and twirling non-stop.
And just when the energy peaked, DJ Kunal amped it even higher with his signature mixes. His ability to fuse traditional Garba beats with modern EDM drops kept the dance floor alive till the very last track. The crowd roared, clapped, and circled endlessly, proving that music is the heartbeat of any festival.
What made the event even more special was the flawless execution by Rivaaz in collaboration with the Student Council. Together, they didn’t just organize an event—they created an experience that stitched together tradition and modern campus culture.
As the night unfolded under the twinkling campus lights, students danced till they were out of breath but high on spirit. Garba Night 6.0 wasn’t just a cultural event—it was proof that festivals on campus aren’t about just observing traditions, but about living them, owning them, and most importantly—dancing through them.
