Spread over the entire Saturday, the campus had its diwali celebrations in styles of various states of India.
In the morning of the day after Diwali, for the past several decades, BITS Pilani has been having the tradition of celebrating in the workshop of the Institute, pooja for Viswakarma who is considered as the divine engineer and architect according to Hindu mythology.
