Maryland Mauj,

About the event

Maryland Mauj is the University of Maryland–College Park’s premier Bhangra competition, celebrating the vibrant energy of Punjabi folk dance and culture. Since its founding, Mauj has grown into one of the most anticipated cultural events in the region, drawing top collegiate and independent Bhangra teams from across the country to compete in an unforgettable night of music, dance, and community.

Our mission is to showcase South Asian heritage while creating an inclusive space where students, families, and community members come together to experience the joy of Bhangra. The event not only highlights the incredible talent and dedication of participating teams but also fosters cultural awareness, school pride, and community engagement.

By partnering with us, sponsors gain meaningful visibility within a diverse and engaged audience of students, alumni, families, and community members, while contributing to the growth of cultural arts on campus and beyond.
