## About this event

Drishya Arts Fest is an annual student cultural festival organized by the School of Allied Health Sciences at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s Kochi campus, providing students with a dedicated platform to participate in music, dance, arts and stage performances alongside their academic activities. The multi-day festival highlights student creativity through a range of cultural programmes and gives participants an opportunity to present their artistic interests before fellow students and the wider campus community. At its core, Drishya reflects the role of cultural activities within university life, creating space for students pursuing professional and health-related education to engage with creative expression, performance and collaborative activities. The festival can include different forms of music and performing arts, with classical and traditional arts forming part of the broader cultural programme alongside other student performances. Such campus arts festivals are significant because they provide young performers with opportunities to develop confidence, stage presence, teamwork and creative skills outside the classroom. Music and dance performances can involve individual participants as well as groups, allowing students with different levels of training and artistic interests to contribute to the festival. Classical music performances may draw from established Indian traditions such as Carnatic or Hindustani music, while dance and stage programmes can incorporate classical, traditional and contemporary forms depending on the festival’s programme. The exact competition categories and performance formats can differ from one edition to another, making each Drishya Arts Fest a reflection of the participating students and the activities planned by the organizing team. The 2026 edition was presented by the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Kochi campus as an arts festival of the Allied Health Sciences community, with programmes centred on art, music, dance and creativity. The event demonstrates how university cultural festivals can complement academic education by giving students opportunities to explore interests that may not form part of their regular curriculum. For students, participating in a festival such as Drishya can involve preparation, rehearsals, collaboration and live presentation, creating an experience that extends beyond simply attending a cultural programme. Group performances can encourage coordination and teamwork, while individual artistic presentations provide students with a platform to demonstrate their personal abilities. For audiences, the festival offers an opportunity to experience the cultural and creative activities of the Kochi campus and observe the range of talents among students from different academic backgrounds. Such events also contribute to the cultural atmosphere of Kochi, a city known for its diverse arts, literature, music and performance traditions. From a broader Kochi tourism and cultural perspective, university arts festivals provide an example of how Kerala’s younger generation participates in music, dance and performing arts within contemporary educational environments. The combination of academic life and cultural activities allows students to maintain connections with traditional artistic practices while also exploring modern forms of presentation. Drishya Arts Fest can therefore be understood as a campus-based cultural event that celebrates student talent, creativity and participation through a varied programme of arts and performances. Its significance lies not only in the individual performances but also in the opportunity it provides students to work together, share cultural interests and create a vibrant campus experience. The festival may include different activities, participating students, performance categories, venues and schedules in different editions, and specific programme details are determined by the organizers for each year. Official schedules, participation procedures, event categories, venue arrangements and student guidelines are announced by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and the organizing team for each edition.
