About Event
Saarang is the annual social and cultural festival of IIT Madras. It is a 5 day long festival usually in the second week of the year which receives a footfall of over 70,000+ people from over 500 colleges all across the country. Founded in 1974 as Mardi Gras, it is the second oldest college festival in India. 26 years ago,it changed its avatar and adopted the name "Saarang".
Saarang is a not-for-profit, entirely student-run, ISO 9001:2015 organisation, making it the only one of its kind amongst college festivals in the country.
