CM Rekha Gupta launches 'Bhajan Clubbing' fest in Delhi University

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta launches 10-day Vasantotsav 2026, a Bhajan Clubbing festival at Delhi University, blending youth culture with spiritual traditions.

"Bhajan Clubbing is an innovative initiative to reconnect the younger generation with their cultural roots. - CM Rekha Gupta"

New Delhi, Feb 10

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inaugurated a 10-day 'Vasantotsav 2026' Bhajan Clubbing event at Ramjas College, University of Delhi, praising 'Bhajan Clubbing' as a remarkable initiative that brings devotion, culture, and youthful energy onto one platform.

The musical performance by Leela Band filled the entire atmosphere with devotion. Along with students, the Chief Minister, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra, and other dignitaries also participated in the bhajan presentation.

Chief Minister Gupta said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, through 'Mann Ki Baat', has emphasised the need to connect the youth with culture and devotion and has appreciated beautiful initiatives like 'Bhajan Clubbing'.

The Prime Minister has described bhajan and kirtan as the soul of Indian culture and praised this tradition, and the Delhi government's effort through 'Vasantotsav 2026' is a step in the same direction, she said.

The Chief Minister stated that 'Bhajan Clubbing' is an innovative initiative to reconnect the younger generation with their cultural roots, rich heritage, and spiritual consciousness.

Through 'Bhajan Clubbing', Delhi is today witnessing a wonderful confluence of devotion, culture, and youthful energy, where spiritual experience is emerging in a new form alongside modern expression, she said.

Mishra said that, inspired by PM Modi's encouragement of Indian culture, bhajan-kirtan, and youth participation, the Delhi government is connecting the youth with Indian traditions through a special cultural series from February 10 to February 19.

This is another meaningful effort towards making Delhi the capital of art and culture, along with being the capital of the nation, he said.

On Wednesday, Raghav Raja will present a musical performance at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College; on February 12, India Music Collective will perform at ARSD College, while on the same day, Sadho Band will present its music at Shaheed Sukhdev College.

On February 13, Rahasya Band will offer a soulful performance at Shyam Lal College, and on the same day, the atmosphere at PGDAV College will be filled with devotion through the bhajans of Keshavam.

On February 16, Keshavam will perform in the University Stadium, and on February 19, this spiritual and cultural journey will reach a special milestone at Shivaji College with the SAM Band.

While I appreciate the effort to promote culture, I hope this doesn't become another platform for political messaging. Cultural events in universities should be organic and student-driven, not just an extension of a government PR exercise.

Bhajan Clubbing sounds so fun! 🎵 Finally something different from the usual college fests. My cousin at Ramjas said the atmosphere was electric. It's a great way to de-stress during exams with some positive vibes. More colleges should have this!

Good step, but the timing is suspicious. Always before elections we see a sudden surge in "cultural" events. Let's see if this continues as a regular feature or fades away after the votes are counted. Action speaks louder than bhajans.

As a DU alumna, I love this! Our culture is so rich and bhajans have such peaceful melodies. Fusing them with contemporary music is a genius way to make them relevant for Gen Z. Hope they stream some performances online for those of us who've passed out!

Interesting concept. I've seen how K-pop and Western music dominate youth culture here. It's refreshing to see a push to modernize traditional Indian music forms. The line-up of bands across colleges looks well-planned. All the best to the performers!
