Advaya 2015 Fashion Show

College fests are the epitome of entertainment and zeal at any college. It brings the otherwise mundane atmosphere to life. Having recently concluded Alcheringa, the second biggest cultural fest in the country, and inter hostel events like Kriti and Spardha, the students are now preparing for  Advaya, the fest by the post graduate students at IIT Guwahati. 

Commenced in 2010, Advaya got its official name, signifying unity, in 2012.  The theme for this year of Advaya is ‘La Fiesta’ translating to ‘The Party’. Advaya is a combined technical and cultural fest by the PG section of the college, which includes various types of events from the literary and the technical fields to the drama, sports and the art fields. The fest will be organised from 11th – 13th March at the IIT-G campus this year.

Advaya will also include some specials like the Bollywood night, the Kavi Sammelan night and some other informal events like Gully Cricket and Dumb Charades which will aim at giving the married scholars a break from their tedious routines and let them enjoy the air of celebration at IIT Guwahati. The fest will not disappoint the techno geeks or the artists who express through their paintings and sketches. The sportsmen too will be rewarded for putting up pleasing performances. The writers will try their hands or I must say pens at story writing, while the dancers will get a chance to show off their moves at a huge platform. The Advaya team further plans to organise workshops and flash mobs during the day to make it more interesting and amazing. 

Advaya therefore, can be said to be a complete fest in itself, having something or the other for everyone.
