Namaste! We are Cambridge University Hindu Cultural Society, one of the largest faith societies at Cambridge University. Established in 1992, we provide a community for all students to practice Hinduism and learn more about our religion.
As a society we have three key aims:
• to create a nurturing and strong community through our social and flagship events, to celebrate the culture of Hinduism and support our members at university
• to educate our members on Hindu Sanskriti and Dharma, promoting our faith and its teachings as well as allow our members to cultivate and explore their Hindu identities, through our learning events and speaker series
• have a positive impact on our local community, practising Sewa and engaging with and helping charitable causes as well as providing accessibility for our members to engage in social service
Flagship Events
Mastana
We have a number of flagship events throughout the year, including:
• Garba, open to veteran Navratri-goers and newcomers alike for an energising night of dance and music
• Diwali, the festival of lights and celebration of the New Year after Navratri with dance, food, music and festivities
• Mastana, the largest cultural charity show in East Anglia, which celebrates Hindu culture
• Holi, the festival of colours and community, celebrating the triumph of good over evil
We also have a number of social events throughout the year to foster a sense of community and companionship, as well as a multitude of talks, sports sessions and SEWA initiatives to further celebrate and educate about our religion.

Sewa
We aim to make all of our events as accessible as possible, both physically and spiritually. Our events are all NEMA (No Eggs, Meat or Alcohol), as many access arrangements are made as possible, and we are happy to make any additional arrangements upon request.
