Registration desk at Saarang, 2003

Cultural Events , Institute Events , Student Activities

This photograph was taken during one of the competitions organized during IIT Madras’ Saarang. The students in the photograph are possibly in charge of registration for an event. One of the posters taped to the table has the word ‘eating’ written on it. Other photographs in the album suggest that there was a fun event where apples, tied to strings were hung and participants were expected to eat these without using their hands. The apple on the table suggests that this photograph was possibly taken at the registration desk for the apple-eating competition. 

The poster in the background has the words ‘$&£ / Minting Fashion’ imprinted on it. It is likely that the poster represented the clothing shop ‘Dollars and Pounds’, possibly a sponsor for an event. Dollars and Pounds is a shop which is now located near the main gate of IIT Madras (as of 2022).
