Overview
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The Department of Computer Science & Applications (CSA), School of Computing Science & Engineering (SSCSE), Sharda University, invites students and faculty to celebrate it together on 4 November 2026 (Wednesday) from 2:00 PM onwards at the CSA Department.
The celebration brings together three events that reflect the spirit of the festival. The Rangoli Competition lets participants create colourful floor art that welcomes prosperity and joy. The Diya Decoration Competition turns the traditional earthen lamp into a creative craft that symbolises hope and knowledge. The Ethnic Wear event showcases India’s rich traditional clothing and the unity in diversity among Sharda’s students.
Together, these events give students a creative break from academics. They encourage teamwork and confidence, and they help students connect with cultural traditions. Winners in each event will receive exciting gifts, and all participants will share in the festive cheer.
