Jugnu Bhangra was founded in 1970 by the late Dr Surjit Singh Randhawa (our Bhangra master), alongside a close circle of friends and family. From the very beginning, he built Jugnu on a core principle that remains central today — family.

Dr Randhawa’s vision was not only to preserve traditional Bhangra, but to pass it down through generations. Thanks to his dedication, many of the original members’ friends and relatives continue to be part of Jugnu today, carrying forward knowledge and traditions that have been shared over decades.

Under his leadership, Jugnu has performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Royal Albert Hall, the Commonwealth Games, and the FIFA World Cup 1998. The group has also appeared on national television and collaborated with some of the most renowned Punjabi folk singers worldwide.

Dr Randhawa’s legacy lives on through Jugnu — not just as a performance group, but as a family united by culture, tradition, and a shared passion for Bhangra.

We thank the late Dr Surjit Singh Randhawa (Bhangra Master) for his dedication and service to the group. We will continue to keep his legacy alive.
