Kala Yatra:

     The youth festival started with the Kala Yatra on October 08. The Kala Yatra competition marked the grand opening of the festival, bringing together various colleges and departments to showcase powerful performances on pressing social themes. The vibrant procession began from Shamaldas Arts College and concluded at J.K. Sarvaiya College, filling the streets with creativity, awareness, and youthful energy.

   This year’s Kala Yatra witnessed active participation from numerous colleges, each presenting thought-provoking performances on contemporary social issues such as the surge in rape cases, Gujarat’s cultural identity, challenges in the education system, and the negative influence of social media. Among them, Swami Sahajanand College stood out with its impactful depiction titled Operation Sindhoor, which received special appreciation for its strong message and execution.

   The final performance of the day was presented by Swami Vivekanand Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Bhavnagar. Their participation carried a noble purpose to provide immediate medical assistance in case anyone was harmed during the procession. Overall, the Kala Yatra not only celebrated artistic expression but also reflected the students’ deep social awareness and their commitment to building a more conscious and responsible society.

Opening Ceremony:

To watch the live stream, 

        Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University (MKBU) marked a proud and momentous occasion with the inauguration of Bhav Gunjan 2025, the 33rd Inter-College Competitive Youth Festival. This annual cultural fest, deeply rooted in tradition and youthful creativity, brought together students, faculty, and guests from various colleges to celebrate the spirit of art, unity, and self-expression. The ceremony opened with a warm welcome to dignitaries, university officials, and participants, creating an atmosphere of reverence and excitement. The event’s hosts, Dr. Dhruti Pandya and Dr. Shaktisinh Parmar, gracefully guided the proceedings, setting a tone of cultural pride and collective enthusiasm. The guests were welcomed with the traditional Samaiyu, symbolizing respect and auspicious beginnings.

      One of the most inspiring moments of the ceremony was the exploration of the festival’s name “Gujan” (ગુંજન). A speaker beautifully explained that Gujan is not merely a form of vocal or artistic performance; it is an “Anuranan” a vibration that transcends external expression and reaches inward, toward the soul. The idea that Gujan leads one from the outer world to the inner self from sound to spirit gave the festival a profound philosophical dimension. The speaker compared this resonance to the songs mothers and elders hum while working, carrying with them the timeless rhythm of tradition and heritage.

      This concept of Gujan holds significance beyond the festival itself. It encourages us to see creativity not only as performance but as a soulful act of connection with ourselves, our community, and our culture. Whether in art, study, or everyday life, the message invites us to move beyond surface-level expression and seek authenticity in all that we do. The inauguration ceremony concluded with heartfelt gratitude extended to the organizing committee, the Physical Education Department, and the dedicated student volunteers who made Bhav Gunjan 2025 a reality. Bhavinbhai, one of the event’s key speakers, delivered a thoughtful vote of thanks, acknowledging the collective effort behind the grand success of the event.

    As the Indian National Anthem echoed through the hall, the festival officially commenced marking the beginning of two days filled with vibrant performances, artistic exploration, and youthful energy. Bhav Gunjan 2025 not only celebrates talent but also symbolizes the living spirit of culture, tradition, and creativity that continues to define MKBU’s identity.

Mimicry:

To watch the live stream

      The Mimicry Competition at Bhav Gunjan 2025, organized by Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University, was one of the most entertaining and creative events of the festival. Participants amazed the audience with their ability to recreate a wide range of sounds from roaring trains, flying helicopters, and ringing bullets to chirping birds, creaking doors, and even the rhythm of a heartbeat. Each performance was filled with energy, humor, and imagination, turning ordinary sounds into extraordinary experiences.

   Adding a playful twist, many participants imitated famous personalities like Jethalal and Kareena Kapoor, as well as beloved cartoon characters such as Nobita and Doraemon. Some even added rhyming and poetic elements, making their acts more lively and fun. Through their creative voices and expressive performances, the participants showcased that mimicry is not just imitation but a true art form a joyful celebration of sound, emotion, and human creativity that perfectly reflected the vibrant spirit of Bhav Gunjan 2025.

Skit:

To watch the live stream,

        The Skit Performances were among the most awaited events of the festival, where creativity met intellect, and laughter met learning. Each skit not only entertained the audience but also inspired them to think about the changing world around us. The performances captured the pulse of youth, portraying both the struggles and dreams of a generation living between tradition and modernity.

       One of the most memorable skits of the festival was titled “Gen- Z Panchayat.” The title itself hinted at a fusion of two worlds the old Panchayat system and the new-age Gen Z generation. The performance presented how the youth of today are reshaping India’s traditional systems through their modern perspectives and digital mindset.

      The stage design was both artistic and symbolic: a large tricolored map of India stood at the center, decorated with white wings representing ambition and hope. The letters “G.P.T” painted on the backdrop cleverly referred to today’s technological revolution, especially Artificial Intelligence.

      Through energetic acting, synchronized movements, and clever dialogues, the group depicted the challenges and potential of a generation that wants progress but also values culture. The skit humorously asked Can the new generation preserve its roots while embracing technology?

      From a literary point of view, the performance reflected Dryden’s concept of “Play” as a lively image of human nature. The skit realistically mirrored youth’s enthusiasm, confusion, and creativity.

It also connected well with Ben Jonson’s “Comedy of Humours,” where exaggerated personality traits create humor and meaning here, the obsession with social media, innovation, and activism formed the “humour” of Gen Z.

Category: Bollywood-style Theatre Performance

Theme: Generational and Cultural Commentary

Tone: Satirical, Aspirational, and Patriotic

    Another unforgettable performance was “The Grandfather Returns.” This skit beautifully blended humor and seriousness to show the contrast between the old and the new. The story follows a grandfather who comes back from heaven to observe how life has changed on Earth and what he discovers leaves him amused, confused, and sometimes disappointed.

      The performance’s creative elements stood out especially the large clock on stage, symbolizing the passage of time and the distance between generations. The inclusion of popular figures like Anant Ambani and Shubman Gill represented society’s growing fascination with fame, luxury, and celebrity culture. Through witty exchanges and comic misunderstandings, the skit delivered a subtle message: in our race for success and attention, we often lose touch with values like kindness, simplicity, and family bonding.

     Analyzed through Irving Wardle’s “Comedy of Menace,” the laughter carried an undertone of unease reminding the audience that humor often hides truth. Similarly, Martin Esslin’s “Theatre of the Absurd” can also be applied here, as the grandfather’s return from heaven represents the absurd search for meaning in a fast-paced, materialistic world.

Category: Sentimental Comedy / Comedy of Manners

Theme: Clash Between Old Values and Modern Obsessions

Tone: Comic, Reflective, and Philosophical

Interpretation and Reflection:

       Both skits reflected the creative power of today’s youth. “GenZ Panchayat” celebrated innovation, digital awareness, and patriotism, while “The Grandfather Returns” gently reminded us to stay rooted in humanity and moral values. Together, they presented a perfect balance of satire and sincerity, humor and heart.

      The young performers proved that theatre is not just about acting; it is about understanding society, expressing ideas, and inspiring thought. Their scripts, expressions, and stage presence turned each skit into a mirror showing us both the beauty and the irony of modern life.

Conclusion:

       The Skit Performances at Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025 added depth and dialogue to the celebration. They showed that creativity is not only about entertainment but also about awareness and learning. Through laughter, symbolism, and imagination, these young artists shared powerful reflections on India’s cultural and generational journey. In the grand mosaic of Bhav Gunjan 2025, the skits stood as reminders that the true spirit of youth lies in expression in daring to question, to imagine, and to bring stories to life.

Bhajan:

To watch the live stream, 

     One of the most serene and spiritually elevating moments of BHAV GUNJAN YOUTH FESTIVAL 2025 was the event titled “Bhajan Gunjan”, where the stage transformed from a site of artistic expression into a temple of melody and devotion. The performances took place at the New Court Hall, echoing with sacred rhythms, devotional lyrics, and heartfelt harmonies that resonated deeply with the audience.

   Each participating team brought its own regional flavor and musical tradition to life from Gujarati bhajans inspired by Narsinh Mehta and Meerabai’s devotional poetry, to Hindi bhajans dedicated to Lord Krishna, Shiva, and the Divine Mother. The singers, clad in traditional attire, filled the air with a sense of purity and reverence.

      The accompaniment of harmonium, tabla, and manjira blended beautifully with the voices, creating a seamless fusion of music and faith. The stage lights, softly golden, enhanced the spiritual atmosphere it felt less like a competition and more like a collective offering of bhakti rasa (the emotion of devotion).

      What stood out most was how the young performers managed to connect ancient traditions to modern sensibilities. Their bhajans were not merely repetitions of age-old verses, but heartfelt reinterpretations that carried contemporary meaning invoking peace, hope, and unity in today’s divided times. The audience, too, became a part of the performance. The rhythmic claps and humming along with the chorus reflected how Bhajan Gunjan bridged the gap between performer and listener transforming everyone into participants in the same spiritual vibration.

   From the soulful rendition of “Vaishnav Jan To” to the mesmerizing call of “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya,” the performances created moments that transcended the boundaries of religion and culture, embodying the universal language of music and faith. In essence, Bhajan Gunjan was not just an event it was an experience of collective consciousness, reminding everyone that the truest form of art is that which uplifts the soul.

On-the Spot Painting:

     One of the most creative and exciting events of the Fine Arts category in BHAV GUNJAN YOUTH FESTIVAL 2025 was the On-the-Spot Painting Competition. This event truly captured the spirit of imagination, where artists had to create something beautiful and meaningful right at the moment without any preparation.

      As the theme was announced, the room turned silent. Students from different colleges sat with brushes and colors, turning their blank canvases into stories full of life. Within a short time, wonderful paintings began to appear some showing the harmony between tradition and modern youth, others highlighting social issues, nature, and empowerment.What made this event special was how it encouraged spontaneous creativity. Every artist painted from their heart, expressing what they truly felt in that instant. The competition was not just about skill, but about emotion and imagination.

       The scene reminded me of how Romantic poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge described art as a natural flow of feelings and ideas. Similarly, these young painters turned their emotions into colors and gave their thoughts a visual life.

    One beautiful painting showed a half-sun and half-clock, symbolizing how time and hope are connected a reminder that youth is full of energy but also precious and short. Another painting used black and gold to show the contrast between confusion and enlightenment, reflecting the struggles and dreams of today’s generation.

       Overall, the On-the-Spot Painting event brought out the hidden artists within the students. It showed that true art is not planned it happens in the moment. Every color, brushstroke, and idea came together to express the heart of Bhav Gunjan 2025 creativity, culture, and the power of youthful imagination.

Quiz: 

       Among all the exciting events at the Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025, the Quiz Competition was one of the most interesting and knowledge-filled programs. It was organized at the Department of English, MKBU, and brought together bright and talented students from different colleges to test their knowledge and quick thinking.

     The quiz had several rounds covering topics like literature, culture, current affairs, science, and sports. The atmosphere was full of excitement as students from different departments participated with great enthusiasm. Each question brought cheers and laughter from the audience, making the event lively and fun.

     Representing the Department of English, our brilliant seniors Rajdeep Bavaliya, Rutvi Pal, and Sanket Vavadiya performed wonderfully throughout the competition. Their teamwork, confidence, and smart answers helped them stand out from the other teams. With great coordination and knowledge, they proudly won the Second Prize in the final round.

    Their victory brought smiles and happiness to everyone in the department. They were congratulated by Dr. Dilip Barad Sir, Prof. Prakruti Bhatt, and Prof. Megha Trivedi for their excellent performance and dedication.The Quiz Competition was not just about winning it was about learning, sharing ideas, and celebrating knowledge. It showed that Bhav Gunjan is not only a platform for dance, music, and drama but also a stage where intelligence and creativity shine equally bright.

    It was a proud and inspiring moment for all of us from the Department of English, reminding us that true celebration of youth includes both art and intellect.

Paper Collage:

      The Paper Collage event at Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025 turned simple paper into powerful art. Students used newspapers, magazines, and colored sheets to create beautiful and meaningful designs. The hall was filled with creativity as every participant worked with focus and imagination. Each collage carried a unique message some showed social awareness, while others celebrated nature and culture.

     Among all the entries, Vanita Baraiya from the Department of English impressed everyone with her creative use of recycled paper. Her artwork showed that even waste materials can become something valuable and artistic. The event reminded everyone that real art doesn’t need expensive materials it just needs passion, imagination, and purpose.

Folk Dance:

    Among the many dazzling events at the Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025, the Folk Dance competition stood out as one of the most vibrant and emotionally charged performances. It wasn’t just an artistic display it was a rhythmic celebration of India’s living traditions, a reminder that even in a rapidly modernizing world, the heartbeat of our culture still resonates in folk rhythm, color, and collective spirit.

      The stage came alive with a whirl of ghagras, turbans, matkis, and dhols. Each group brought its own regional essence echoes of Gujarat’s Garba, Rajasthan’s Ghoomar, and Punjab’s Bhangra blended seamlessly with the youthful energy of the performers. The dancers entered in perfect synchrony, balancing earthen pots (matkis) gracefully on their heads, a gesture symbolic of both devotion and endurance.

    Their movements told stories of sowing and harvest, love and longing, celebration and faith. The soundscape of the performance was an exhilarating mix of traditional percussion instruments—dhol, nagada, manjira, and tabla creating a rhythm so infectious that even the audience swayed along.

Aesthetic and Literary Dimensions

In the light of Bharata Muni’s Natya Shastra, the performance embodied multiple rasas (emotional flavors):

Adbhuta Rasa (Wonder): evoked through the dancers’ breathtaking coordination and balance.

Shringara Rasa (Beauty and Love): expressed in the elegance of their movements and attire.

Veera Rasa (Heroic Energy): reflected in the confidence and stamina of the youth performers.

Shanta Rasa (Peace): found in the harmony of rhythm, color, and unity.

      The matki the humble earthen pot became a powerful symbol of the feminine, the nurturing spirit, and the balance of life. In Indian literature and devotional poetry, the pot often signifies the human body holding divine energy; in this performance, it reflected the dancer’s control, patience, and grace.

Cultural Significance

     Folk dance has always been the living archive of rural India its oral traditions, rituals, and festivals. At Bhav Gunjan 2025, these performances reminded us that even amidst digital noise, our roots continue to dance. The fusion of local dialects in the music and the youthful enthusiasm on stage created a bridge between tradition and modernity, symbolizing what the Youth Festival truly stands for cultural continuity through creative expression.

     Each spin of the dancer, each rhythmic tap of the dandiya stick, echoed the shared identity of Gujarat colorful, joyous, and spiritually grounded. The applause that followed wasn’t just for performance; it was for heritage itself.

Final Reflection

     Watching the Folk Dance event was like witnessing poetry in motion a verse written in color, rhythm, and human expression. It wasn’t merely a competition; it was a living example of how art transcends generations. The dancers didn’t just perform; they narrated stories that have traveled through centuries, keeping our cultural heartbeat alive.

One Act  Play: 

     Among all the stage performances of the Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025, one play that truly shook the audience was “Ganga: The Roar of Justice.” Performed by the talented students of K.P.E.S. College, this one-act play combined emotion, symbolism, and social awareness in a way that left everyone speechless. Written by Anopsinh Sarvaiya and directed by Vipul Rathod and Jibril Parmar, the play was supported by a dedicated backstage team led by Prof. Jagat Bhatt, Nandish Padia, and Rachit Mehta. Together, they brought to life a story that was not just seen but felt deeply by everyone in the hall.

A Stage That Spoke Without Words

    Before the first dialogue was even spoken, the stage itself told a story. A dimly lit background revealed two divine figures Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil, and Maa Kali, the goddess of justice and power. Their presence symbolized that no matter how strong human corruption becomes, divine truth always watches in silence, waiting for the right moment to strike.

     The lighting shifted between shadows and gold, mirroring Ganga’s emotional journey from darkness and pain to strength and enlightenment. Even the sound effects, echoing temple bells mixed with cries of anguish, created a chilling yet divine atmosphere. It felt as though the gods were silently witnessing the entire play, watching the fight between sin and truth unfold before their eyes.

The Story of Ganga – A Cry Turned into Courage

     The narrative follows Ganga, a young woman born into faith but betrayed by it. Her mother, once a devotee, becomes the victim of a false spiritual leader a so-called saint who hides his crimes behind religion. Years later, the same tragedy falls upon Ganga herself, turning her belief into rage and despair.

      A police officer in the play symbolizes society’s helplessness the system that often bends before power instead of protecting the weak. But Ganga, despite being broken and abandoned, refuses to give up. Her silence transforms into a scream, and her scream becomes a roar for justice. In the end, when the oppressor faces punishment, it is not just Ganga’s victory it is a victory for every silenced woman, every unheard voice, and every injustice ignored in the name of faith.

Emotion, Message, and Impact

     The beauty of this play lies in its rawness. The actors didn’t just perform they lived the story. Every line carried weight, every expression spoke volumes. The audience could feel the pain in Ganga’s voice, the fear in her mother’s eyes, and the false calmness of the swami who had turned religion into his shield.

    What made the performance unforgettable was its courage to question blind faith. It reminded everyone that religion is meant to guide humanity not to protect those who misuse power. The play’s message was clear: justice delayed is justice denied, and silence only strengthens the guilty.

A Modern Tragedy with a Moral Awakening

      From a literary point of view, “Ganga: The Roar of Justice” can be seen as a modern tragedy one that doesn’t end in despair but in enlightenment. Like an ancient Greek tragedy, it evokes pity, fear, and finally catharsis that emotional cleansing when truth triumphs over evil.

      Ganga’s suffering becomes a universal story of women who fight against injustice. Her journey transforms from a personal tragedy to a symbol of divine justice. Through her pain, the audience experiences both sorrow and hope sorrow for her suffering, and hope for her courage.

An Unforgettable Experience

      When the final scene ended, the hall fell silent. There was no rush of applause at first just a deep, emotional silence. It felt as if everyone needed a moment to breathe, to process what they had witnessed. Then came the applause loud, heartfelt, and endless.

    It wasn’t just appreciation for acting; it was respect for truth. The play reminded everyone that theatre is not only entertainment it is awakening. It is a space where art meets reality, where emotion becomes revolution. “Ganga: The Roar of Justice” proved that one act can be enough to shake minds, challenge beliefs, and remind society that silence, too, is a crime. It was not just a play it was a movement, roaring against injustice through the voice of a woman who refused to be forgotten. 

Sugam Geet:

     The Sugam Geet (Light Vocal Music) competition at Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025 was one of the most heart-touching and melodic moments of the entire celebration. Held at the New Court Hall, the event filled the atmosphere with rhythm, passion, and poetry. The soft glow of the stage lights reflected off the tanpura strings, and as the first note resonated, the audience seemed to enter a different world a world woven with music and emotion.

     Unlike classical or folk performances, Sugam Geet stands at the crossroads of both graceful yet relatable, poetic yet personal. Each singer carried not only their voice but their heart on stage. They sang of love, devotion, friendship, and patriotism themes that touched every listener’s soul.

      One particularly memorable performance came from a participant of Shamaldas Arts College, who sang “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon.” The emotional depth in her voice brought tears to many eyes and earned her a standing ovation. The powerful lyrics combined with her passionate delivery reminded everyone of the sacrifices behind our nation’s freedom.

    Equally captivating was a performance from the Department of English, where a student beautifully presented a semi-classical Sugam Geet inspired by the verses of Narsinh Mehta, Gujarat’s most beloved saint-poet. The song blended old devotional tones with a contemporary rhythm, representing the very essence of Bhavnagar’s cultural heritage a fusion of the ancient and the modern.

    The judges praised not only the technical skills but also the emotional clarity of the performances. Each note carried meaning; every pause felt poetic. As per the Rasa Theory of Bharata Muni, the performers successfully evoked Shringara (love), Bhakti (devotion), and Veer (heroic) rasas, drawing the audience into a shared emotional experience.

      From a literary point of view, Sugam Geet reflects what Dryden described as the dual purpose of art to teach and to delight. These songs taught lessons of peace, unity, and moral strength, while delighting the senses through their melodious beauty. The event ended with a group rendition of a patriotic song, uniting voices from various colleges into one powerful harmony. That final chorus, sung together by students from different disciplines, felt like the heartbeat of MKBU itself a reminder that art is not just performance, but connection.

Installation:

The Installation Event at Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025 was one of the most creative and meaningful parts of the entire festival. It was not a performance with actors or music, but an art form that spoke through objects, space, and ideas.

In this event, students had to create an installation a kind of three-dimensional artwork using simple or recycled materials such as cardboard, plastic, cloth, wood, mud, or mirrors. The aim was to represent a theme or message through design and symbolism rather than speech.

Main Themes and Ideas

Most of the participants chose social and environmental topics that connected art with real-life issues, such as:

• The importance of saving nature

• The harmful effects of social media

• The fast pace of modern life versus traditional peace

One memorable piece was called “The Mirror of Modernity.”
It showed a broken mirror placed among old electronic devices and mobile parts. When people looked into it, they could see their reflections broken into pieces a symbol of how today’s generation is losing its true identity because of its dependence on technology.

Another beautiful creation titled “The Root and the Roof” used natural items like bamboo, mud, and leaves. It showed how a tree’s roots reached up to touch a roof made of plastic and wires showing how humans are moving away from nature and harming the environment while trying to grow.

Meaning and Artistic Importance

This event was not just about decoration it was a deep reflection of life and society.
It reminded viewers that art can speak more powerfully than words. Each installation was silent, but still made everyone think about human values, technology, and nature.

In literary terms, we can connect this event with:

• Coleridge’s idea of imagination – turning ordinary things into meaningful symbols.

• Eco-critical theory – the relationship between humans and nature.

• Modernist art – where broken forms and open meanings represent the modern world’s confusion.

In short, the Installation Event proved that art is not only for beauty but also for awareness and change.

Clay Modelling:

     Among the many visual arts showcased during the Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025, the Clay Modelling competition stood out for its organic charm and deeply rooted connection to Indian aesthetics. My senior, Krishna Vala, participated in this event with a piece that instantly caught everyone’s attention a miniature village scene complete with a hut (kothi) and a well (kuva).

      At first glance, the model seemed beautifully simple. But a closer look revealed that it was a profound reflection on rural life and sustainable living, echoing the quiet strength of traditional Indian villages. The hut symbolized shelter and self-sufficiency, while the well represented life, community, and purity. Together, they told a story of balance between human life and nature an aesthetic harmony that modernity often overlooks.

From a theoretical perspective, this clay model can be understood through the lens of Aestheticism and Didactic Art.

• Aestheticism (Beauty in Simplicity): The tactile texture of clay, with its earthy roughness and unpolished finish, embodies truth to material. It celebrates beauty not in perfection but in authenticity. The form and proportion of the model were modest, mirroring the philosophy of “art for life’s sake.”

• Didacticism (Moral Instruction): Beneath its beauty lay a subtle message about sustainability. The art reminded us that real progress lies not in technological excess but in respecting the natural world and its resources.

   The composition was deeply reminiscent of Indian village poetry rooted, rhythmic, and resonant with lived experience. It was not just a model; it was a microcosm of cultural identity sculpted by hand. Watching Krishna at work and seeing her final creation reminded me how art can transform the simplest materials clay, water, air into timeless expressions of human existence.

To watch the live stream

     Attending the Bhav Gunjan Youth Festival 2025 for the first time was an amazing experience. As a new member of the university, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the festival truly surprised me with its energy, creativity, and talent. Every performance whether it was a drama, dance, or musical act showed the hard work and passion of the students. The campus was filled with excitement, laughter, and applause, making it a wonderful introduction to university life.

   This festival helped me feel more connected to the MKBU community and gave me a sense of pride to be part of such a vibrant and talented environment. It was not just an event, but a celebration of youth, culture, and creativity. My first Bhav Gunjan will always be a special memory, and I’m already looking forward to experiencing it again next year.

Thank you!
