Halalbihalal & Culinary Festival Universitas Andalas 2026
Universitas Andalas held its Halalbihalal gathering today, fostering togetherness and strengthening collaboration within the academic community following Eid al-Fitr.
Halal Bihalal is a tradition of fellowship that is deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, particularly during the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. This tradition serves as a platform to strengthen interpersonal relationships through acts of mutual forgiveness, socializing, sharing meals, and exchanging gifts—all of which embody the values of togetherness and social harmony.
The event was further enriched by the meaningful participation of international students, who contributed to the Culinary Festival by presenting traditional dishes from their home countries. Featured delicacies included Biryani from Pakistan, as well as Tom Yum and Thai Tea from Thailand, offering a vibrant showcase of cultural diversity.
This occasion reflects Universitas Andalas’ commitment to promoting intercultural understanding and global engagement within its academic environment.
