Editorial Break
Dastaan is a multifest on the Amrita Bengaluru campus: three nights of arenas, proshows, and heritage performances, from January 29 to 31, 2027.
By day the arenas run. By night the proshow stage floods the grounds. The archive holds the editions that came before.
“The campus opens at dawn and closes under fireworks.”

An elite exhibition of Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan GTR, Porsche 911, and custom superbikes featuring live engine rev-offs and automotive masterclasses.
Collegiate street dance crews clash in high-octane courtyard choreography battles, b-boying ciphers, popping, and synchronous flash mob showdowns.
Electric guitarists, bassists, drummers, and vocalists clash on the concert stage with pro-grade acoustic monitoring, high-gain amps, and screaming crowds.
A 36-hour non-stop marathon creating agentic AI workflows, edge compute networks, autonomous robotics middleware, and decentralized web protocols.
