Delhi Government Rolls Out ‘Bhajan Clubbing’ Series Across DU Campuses

In a bid to engage young people with India’s cultural and spiritual heritage, the Delhi government has launched a series of “Bhajan Clubbing” events across Delhi University (DU) colleges as part of Vasantotsav 2026. The initiative, running from February 10 to 19, blends traditional devotional music with contemporary performance formats to make spiritual practices more appealing to students.

Under the guidance of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the programme is being organised with support from the Art, Culture, Language and Tourism Department, with performances scheduled at multiple DU campuses. “Bhajan Clubbing” aims to present bhajans and kirtan in fresh, youth-oriented settings that resonate with modern musical sensibilities while honouring cultural roots.

The series kicked off at Ramjas College on February 10 with a set by Leela Band, followed by performances by Raghav Raja at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College on February 11. On February 12, devotional music and meditation sessions by India Music Collective are planned at ARSD College, alongside a live show by Sadho Band at Shaheed Sukhdev College.

Further events include a performance by Rahasya Band at Shyam Lal College on February 13 and devotional hymns by Keshavam at PGDAV College. A larger showcase featuring Keshavam is scheduled for February 16 at the University Stadium, while the series will conclude on February 19 with the SAM Band at Shivaji College.

Delhi’s Tourism and Culture Minister Kapil Mishra highlighted the government’s aim to connect students with their cultural traditions through this innovative format. He noted that devotional practices have gained renewed interest among the youth and that presenting them in modern formats helps bridge tradition and contemporary appeal.
