We're an inclusive society celebrating & promoting the rich culture of the Land of the Five Rivers — across East & West Punjab. Bhangra, food, music, language and community — everyone is welcome, no matter your background.
Punjabi Society of UNSW exists to share and celebrate Punjabi culture with the entire UNSW community — Punjabi or not. From Bhangra beats to butter chicken, we bring a little bit of home to campus and open the door for everyone to join in.
Our events are built to be fun, cultural and genuinely engaging — whether you're coming for the food, the dancing, or just to make new friends.
Our biggest cultural night of the year. We recreated a full Punjabi wedding on stage with a baraat — complete with live dhol, sangeet performances, Bhangra and Giddha. Members dressed up, danced all night and laughed even harder. It's an immersive, hands-on way to experience Punjabi wedding traditions, and everyone's invited to join the dance floor.
Running our own stall at Arc's International Markets, we bring authentic Punjabi street food straight to campus. It's the perfect chance for the whole UNSW community to taste Punjabi cuisine, meet our members, and get a warm, welcoming introduction to our culture — no invite needed, just come hungry.
A relaxed hangout where members old and new come together over chai and snacks. Culture Cafe is our most laid-back event — dressed in traditional attire, we chat, connect and build genuine friendships in a casual, no-pressure setting. It's the easiest way to meet the crew and see what we're about.
Alongside our events, we run Bhangra & Giddha workshops all year round through our dance team, Hunar. High energy, full of culture, and open to absolutely everyone — no experience needed, and it costs nothing to join. Whether you have danced for years or have never tried, come have a go.
The people behind every event, post and plate of food.
There's no fee to be part of Punjabi Society of UNSW — ever. Whether you're Punjabi, have Punjabi heritage, or just love the culture, food and music, you're welcome here. Sign up, come to an event, and you're already one of us.
