Antarāgni (in Hindi antar means "within" and agni means "fire") stands for 'The Fire Within'. The name of the festival was changed from Culfest to Antaragni in 1993. What began as a simple inter-collegiate cultural event in 1964, has grown into one of the largest cultural festivals of India, drawing over 30,000 enthusiasts from 200 colleges from around the country. Antaragni is a non-profit organisation run completely by students of IIT Kanpur. It started off small, funded entirely by the Student Gymkhana of IIT Kanpur. Today the budget has touched almost Rs 1 crore, raised completely through sponsorship.
