Joining the Mahotsav on December 22 Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said, “Arts and culture have a paramount place in our society. In the absence of art, people will be just like robots.”     
Union Culture Minister Dr Mahesh Sharma at the inaugural function said such kinds of festivities help in promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the country.
Smt. Girija Devi enthralled the audience with her melodious performance. Folk arts of different states added special glitter to the cultural festival, which included folk songs, folk dances; Malkhambh i.e. martial arts; Bin Jogi of Haryana; Kachchi Ghodi folk dance of Rajasthan among others. BHU Vice Chancellor Prof. Girish Chandra Tripathi said on the centenary celebration of the University, there can be no better platform than BHU, to host such an event, which is in itself the cultural capital of knowledge.
The festival witnessed the art and photography exhibition from seven different cultural zones at Ahivasi Art Gallery and Mahamana Art Gallery. Also, a special art exhibition based on Simhasth Kumbh Mela titled as Tat Tvam Asi was exhibited in Swatantrata Bhawan.
