Time : 5.00 PM Onwards
Venue : Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksha Indoor Theatre
Get ready for an unforgettable night with Sanka Dineth, BNS, and Kanchana Anuradhi, alongside the top Dhaara Finalists bringing the stage to life
Dhaara has firmly established itself as the leading platform for nurturing homegrown musical and artistic talent within the university community. Designed as a comprehensive artistic journey, Dhaara goes beyond a traditional competition by offering students a unique, end-to-end experience—beginning with expert-led workshops and culminating in a grand, fully student-produced finale at the prestigious Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre.
What makes Dhaara truly exceptional is its student-driven nature. Every aspect of the program—from vocals, music, and dance to production, coordination, and event management—is conceptualized and executed by undergraduates. This holistic involvement not only showcases artistic talent but also equips students with essential real-world skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving.
Building on the remarkable success of Dhaara 2024, which engaged hundreds of participants and created meaningful pathways for students to enter professional artistic careers through industry exposure, Dhaara 2026 is set to elevate this experience even further. The upcoming edition will introduce expanded professional development workshops, structured competitive performance rounds, and inspiring appearances by leading Sri Lankan artists alongside our talented finalists. These enhancements aim to bridge the gap between university talent and the professional creative industry.
More than just a competition, Dhaara has proven to be a transformative platform—one that converts student potential into professional success. Participants gain invaluable exposure, industry connections, and the confidence needed to pursue opportunities within the creative and performing arts sectors.
Please also find the success stories of undergraduates who have built careers in the entertainment industry through Dhaara. Your participation is of great value in encouraging and inspiring our students to reach greater heights.
