Durga Puja in Vidya Vihar Pilani Campus

Durga Puja in Vidya Vihar Pilani Campus

Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach” and as the Mother of the Universe bestowed with infinite power she is the symbol of female dynamism.

200 Kms west of Delhi and 220 Kms North of Jaipur, Pilani in the heart of Rajasthan’s Shekhawati Region is the home town of the Birla family and has a population of about 50,000. The Vidya Vihar campus where Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani one of the top ranking universities in India today is located is indeed a mini India with over 4000 students from all over the country pursuing education in different branches of Engineering and Science as well as Pharmacy. The campus community celebrates all festivals with equal fervor.

Apart from BITS, Pilani also has several schools run by the Birlas, Goenkas, Mandelias, Loyalkas, Padias and Mishras and the total enrollment in all schools would be around 10,000.

This year Pilani has 26 Durga Pujas a big number indeed for a small town. Every year, the Sharadiya Utsav Samiti Pilani organizes the Shri Shri Durga Puja at the Vidya Vihar campus Puja Ground. In the pujas on Mahasaptmai Mahastami, Mahanavami, Mahadashami days faculty of the Institute with family members along with students enthusiastically participated. The celebrations included cultural programmes and various competitions such as Fancy Dress, Sit and Draw, etc for Children.

With the autumn carnival of Durga Puja overlapping with the Psychedelia of BITS Pilani’s Cultural Festival Oasis 2007, it was double bonanza for the residents of Vidya Vihar campus.

Is it that Stanley Horowitz made the quote “Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all" after seeing a Durga Puja?
