Seventeen years young, Polaris hosts around 30 colleges during the three-day festival. It provides a platform for various cultural, performing and literary arts talent. It brings together professionals from various media fields and hosts interactive sessions for the participating colleges. With a mixture of outstanding creativity, visual talent, and ever-challenging events, this festival is surely one to look out for.

Let’s have a look at some interesting facts about Polaris:
