Cultural Activities

Abhivyanjana: Unraveling meanings


"Culture is the widening of mind and spirits" well displayed by the students of Gautam Buddha University. The beauty of every culture is enhanced by the minds that practice it. Abhivyanjana is a birth of a new tradition. It is GBU's annual cultural and management event that intends to add wings to intellect, imagery, and creativity of our students. It is very essential for every civilization to preserve their heritage and celebrate it from time to time. No culture can survive in isolation hence it is imperative to make the young generation aware of this heritage. Abhivyanjana aims at dissolving the cultural demarcations and facilitating a new school of thought where every student thinks beyond the limit but still grounded to his values. It also gives a platform to the budding managers and compels them to think out of the box.

Evening Out


The campus has many other pleasing attractions with fountains, water bodies and the Shanti Sarowar with ever inspiring Tathagat's statue in it. The scenic beauty and neon lights are very captivating to mesmerise evening walkers.
