Sankranti at Chanakya University was celebrated as a confluence of tradition, knowledge, and community spirit. Rooted in the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), the festival marks the solar transition, symbolising movement towards light, knowledge, and higher consciousness. Activities reflected agrarian wisdom, seasonal cycles, and gratitude practices embedded in Bharatiya civilization. From rangoli and traditional games to discussions on Indic calendrical science, the celebration connected lived culture with intellectual inquiry. It highlighted that festivals are not merely cultural events but knowledge frameworks that integrate astronomy, ecology, and social cohesion, and are relevant even in contemporary academic discourse.
