IITD Notices
Hi,
On behalf of Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati we hereby take immense pleasure in inviting you and your institution to the 20th edition of our annual cultural festival, ALCHERINGA to be held this spring from the 28th to 31st January, 2016.
Alcheringa, which derives its etymology from an Australian aboriginal mythology and translates to “The Eternal Dreamtime”, is inter alia among the top three cultural festivals of India and the biggest festival of its kind in Eastern India.
Though quite young as compared to most established festivals in the country, Alcheringa witnesses a footfall of 70000 people, students coming from 400 colleges to participate in over 70 events battling for a prize money worth 11 lakhs. With its seamless blend of competitive bout and incessant exuberance, Alcheringa provides the perfect platform to budding artists to show their mettle and also extol their euphoria. It is here that you can be the Rockstar, Singer, Actor, Techie, Luddite, and also win lots!
Alcheringa brings to you four days of exaltation and promises to have you forget all your worries through its exhilarating rock shows, liberating classical performances, modish fashion shows, brain-storming quizzes, nonstop DJ dance floors and lots more with a collective prize money worth more than 11 lakhs. All this on a stage that has continually been graced over the years by behemoths of the entertainment industry like Mohit Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, Lucky Ali, Anoushka Shankar, Guitar Legend Michael Angelo Batio, Strings, Shaan, KK, Javed Ali, Euphoria, Remo, The Raghudixit Project, Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Pt. Tarun Bhattacharya, Vir Das, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, and has even played host to bands like Ne-Obliviscaris, Junkyard Groove, Brahma, Parikrama, Indian Ocean, Eluveitie (Swiss Folk Metal Band) and Orphaned Land (Israeli Progressive Metal Band) to name a few.
We invite you, whole-heartedly, to our festival, where we shred all our furtive shackles, celebrate the juvenile, intrepid spirit in each one of us and raise a toast to the maestros that have walked the face of this planet. To punk, to ardor. Without you, this celebration of Alcheringa would be incomplete.
Here’s looking forward to an enthusiastic response from your institute and an enriching experience with you at ALCHERINGA 2016.
