Welcome
Welcome to the CUHCS website, take some time to explore the intertwining threads of culture and knowledge that make up Hindu Dharma...
CUHCS is a thriving, dynamic society offering a wonderful opportunity for social interaction whilst providing the chance to sample and learn a little about the rich heritage and culture of Hinduism. Although the religion is the oldest in the world, we believe that it has a continuing relevance for contemporary problems. Hinduism is open and diverse and CUHCS aims to reflect this both in our activities and membership.
Our wide and varied range of events throughout the year include discussion forums, our very popular Diwali Dinner with traditional, home-made Indian food, poojas and garden parties. There is also the fun of the Raas Garba and the festival of Holi and of course the massive, tremendously successful evening of music, dance and drama that is MASTANA.
We also raise large amounts of money for charity, both in the UK and overseas, previous beneficiaries have included Cancer Research UK, UNICEF, Diabetes UK and The Hope Foundation. This is part of our commitment to Sewa, the concept of selfless service.
CUHCS broadens horizons, bringing people together through enjoyable events; advancing our cultural, religious, social and intellectual development whilst at the same time, helping to make a difference in people's lives while at university. The diversity of events means that whatever your background or interest there will be something for you.
