Welcome to Kashiyatra, one of India’s oldest cultural

festivals of engineering colleges. Established in 1919,

Indian Institute of Technology BHU Varanasi is the

confluence of the old and the new. Situated in the cultural

capital of India, we not only embrace the Indian heritage

but also the modern world, incorporated as this year’s

theme for Kashiyatra: Broadening boundaries…

The Fine Arts events of Kashiyatra attracts a huge crowd

and participation from various parts of the country as well

as the city. This event is famous for bringing variations to

the traditional rules of fine arts and challenging the world

resulting in creating unique visual arts. This year too, like

every other year, Toolika has introduced 3 new events

which have never happened in college level in Varanasi

before.
