🌸 ભાવ ગુંજન 2025: યુવક મહોત્સવ – Festival of Youthfulness and Creativity
“યુવાની એ માત્ર વય નથી, એ મનનો ઉલ્લાસ છે.
ભાવ ગુંજન એ ઉલ્લાસને કળાની પાંખો આપતો મહોત્સવ છે.”
Every year, Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University organizes Youth Festival, where students from various colleges come together to celebrate the power of imagination, art, and performance.
It is truly the festival of youthfulness — “યુવાણીનો મહોત્સવ” Bhav Gunjan — where art meets enthusiasm and learning becomes a joyful experience.
This blog is written as a reflection on my experience of Bhav Gunjan 2025, which I attended as a participant from my department. It was an unforgettable experience that filled me with pride, energy, and creative joy.
The Beginning: Kala Yatra 2025 – Journey of Colors and Culture
The festival began with the grand Kala Yatra, a street parade that brought together art, rhythm, and message.
We had a presentation and a tight schedule that day, so all participants gathered early morning at J. K. Sarvaiya College, the starting point of the Yatra.
The air was filled with excitement — music playing, students laughing, and everyone dressed in colorful costumes representing their themes. It truly felt like a moving canvas of creativity!
Themes of Kala Yatra 2025
Some of the major themes this year included:
-
Operation Sindoor – highlighting women’s strength and empowerment.
-
Swadeshi Apnavo – promoting the use of Indian-made goods and local products.
-
Save Nature, Save Future – spreading awareness about the environment.
-
Digital India – representing the transformation of modern India through technology.
Each tableau was full of energy, slogans, and artistic presentation. Though, we had busy schedule of presentation and all so we only played garaba and take dinner.
After the Yatra, we all played Garba together — it was a moment of joy and unity among all students.
Later, the host college organized dinner for everyone, where we enjoyed delicious food and cheerful conversations.
Before leaving, we clicked a group photo, capturing our happy faces and creative spirit.
The Inauguration Ceremony: A Grand and Proud Beginning
After Kala Yatra, the official inauguration of Bhav Gunjan 2025 was held with great enthusiasm.
The stage was beautifully decorated, and the audience was full of students, professors, and guests.
The ceremony began with Pratham Prarthana and the National Anthem, followed by a melodious Sarvanti Vandana sung by a talented student. The prayer created a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere.

After that, there were dance performances and cultural songs, which made the atmosphere even more vibrant and joyful.
Skit and Drama Events: Stage of Emotions
In Bhav Gunjan, dramatic performances always steal the show — and this year was no different!
The Skit performances were full of fun, message, and emotion.
Students performed short plays on themes like social awareness, honesty, and daily life struggles.
Each performance had great coordination, acting, and creativity. The audience enjoyed and appreciated every act with loud applause.
“Every act was a reflection of life — full of laughter, emotion, and meaning.”
It was amazing to see how students used simple settings to express deep thoughts through drama.
Here, are some glimpse of skit and drama performance.
Fine Arts Events: Expressions on Canvas
The Fine Arts section of the festival was a world of imagination.
It included events like:
-
Poster Making (પોસ્ટર બનાવટ)
-
Clay Modelling (માટી કળા)
-
Tatkaal Chitra (તત્કાલ ચિત્ર સ્પર્ધા)
-
Cartooning (કાર્ટૂન બનાવટ)
Each artwork was unique — full of colors, emotions, and messages.
Students used different techniques and materials to create something that represented their ideas about the modern world.
Walking through the exhibition, I felt inspired by how every student had expressed their creativity differently.
My Experience: Poster Making Competition
Among all events, the most memorable part of Bhav Gunjan 2025 for me was participating in the Poster Making Competition.
It was my first time taking part in such a competition, so I was both nervous and excited.
The topics for the poster-making competition were:
-
Online Payment Suvidha (ઓનલાઈન પેમેન્ટ સુવિધા)
-
Roj nu Jivan (રોજનું જીવન)
-
Dhvani Pradushan (ધ્વનિ પ્રદૂષણ)
I chose “Online Payment Suvidha” because it is a very relevant topic in today’s digital world.
My poster represented how online payment has changed our lifestyle — making things faster, easier, and safer.
I used bright and contrasting colors to show the connection between people and technology.
It was truly a joyful process — creating, thinking, and presenting something original.
When I saw my poster displayed in the exhibition, I felt proud and thankful.
Many people came to see and appreciated the artwork.
“It was an amazing experience for me because, for the first time, I learned how art can speak without words.”
“કળા એ એવી ભાષા છે જે હૃદય સુધી પહોંચે છે.”
Prashna Manch (Quiz Competition):
In the Prashna Manch event, our talented participants — Rutvi Pal, Rajdeep Bavliya, and Sanket Vavdiya — made our department proud by securing the 2nd Rank 🏆. They were the only winning team from our department in this year’s Yuvak Mahotsav, which added a special sense of joy and pride for all of us. Their teamwork, presence of mind, and quick responses reflected true academic spirit and enthusiasm.
Cultural Events: Rhythm of youth
In the evenings, the university campus was filled with music and dance.
Students performed folk dances, classical acts, and modern fusion.
Every performance had its own charm — from the beats of Garba to the grace of Bharatnatyam.
Group songs and musical bands also added energy to the atmosphere.
Each sound, each rhythm echoed the joy of being young and expressive.
The entire event area was glowing with lights, laughter, and youthful enthusiasm.
Overall Experience: A Festival of Learning and Joy
As a participant, my experience in Bhav Gunjan 2025 was truly unforgettable.
It gave me a chance to express my creativity, meet new people, and learn from other talented students.
Every event — from Kala Yatra to Fine Arts — showed the dedication and imagination of youth.
This festival also reminded me that art is not only for winning prizes, but also for expressing ideas, emotions, and identity.
It connects us to others and helps us grow as individuals.
In Gujarati I can say —
“ભાવ ગુંજન એ સ્પર્ધા નથી, એ સ્વને શોધવાનો પ્રવાસ છે.”
All sounds, colors, and performances of the festival were simply beautiful.
It was truly a celebration of joy, creativity, and togetherness.
Purnahuti – The Grand Conclusion of Yuvak Mahotsav 2025
The final day of ભાવ ગુંજન 2025: યુવક મહોત્સવ was marked by a heartfelt Purnahuti ceremony, symbolizing the successful completion of all events and performances. The atmosphere was filled with joy, pride, and the spirit of togetherness as participants, teachers, and guests gathered to celebrate creativity and youthful energy.
You can relive those golden moments through this video of the Purnahuti Ceremony, where every smile, performance, and applause reflects the essence of youthfulness and art:

It beautifully captures the culmination of days filled with talent, dedication, and teamwork — from energetic performances to the proud felicitation of winners. As the curtains closed, the spirit of Yuvani Mahotsav continued to echo in every heart, reminding us that true art never ends — it only begins anew with every inspired mind.
Echoes of Bhav Gunjan
When the festival came to an end, everyone felt a mix of happiness and nostalgia.
The last day concluded with prize distribution and group photos.
Whether we won or not, each one of us carried new memories, friendships, and inspiration.
“Bhav Gunjan is not just a festival — it’s a feeling that stays forever.”
“ભાવ ગુંજન સમાપ્ત થયું, પરંતુ તેની ધૂન હજી પણ હૃદયમાં ગુંજે છે.”
✨ The entire experience was full of positivity — from the start of Kala Yatra to the last performance, every sound and every smile felt like music of youth.
Truly, Bhav Gunjan 2025 was a celebration of emotion, art, and the boundless energy of young minds.
Thank you...!
