About the Event
Where tradition meets celebration — Indore's Navratri nights
14–18 Oct 2026 5 Nights Phoenix Citadel
Five nights. One emotion. One massive gathering.
This isn't a one-day spike. It's a five-night journey where the crowd grows, the energy builds, and the vibe gets stronger every evening. With each passing night the ground fills earlier, the circles widen, and more of the city shows up.
"Each night belongs to Maa. Each circle belongs to the city."

Experience Highlights
What the five nights feel like
Electrifying Garba nights
Live music, live percussion and a floor that never stops. Dodiya, Taran Taali and Dandiya Raas, danced the way they were meant to be.
Light, colour and diyas
A vibrant setup of colourful lighting and creative effects, thousands of glowing diyas, and a set designed to be remembered — and photographed.
Devotional rituals
Sandhya Aarti and Maha Aarti each evening, invoking Maa Durga's blessings before the first step of the first circle.
Authentic Garba, curated
A beautifully curated Garba experience featuring Dodiya and Taran Taali styles alongside Dandiya Raas — all presented with pure traditional authenticity.
Dance dramas from the Shastras
Five days of performances and meaningful dance dramas that retell stories from the Hindu Shastras simply — helping people connect emotionally and discover the deeper meaning behind them.
Built for the camera
Planned photography, authentic videography and engaging reels — with costumes and props across Garba and dance drama that lift the whole experience.
Celebration with responsibility
As in previous years, part of the registration amount goes to an NGO supporting the development of specially-abled children. We stay committed to putting our profits behind causes that matter.
The Five Nights
The energy climbs, night after night
Night one opens with ritual. By night five the whole floor is one circle. Here's how it builds.

Pre-Festival Workshops
Learn the steps before the first night
Four weeks of evening workshops, run by the Dance Drama Company. No experience needed — most people walk in never having held a dandiya.
Starts 14 September 2026. Weekday evenings, 7:00–8:30 PM. Fee includes one practice dandiya set and priority access to Season Pass booking.
Celebration, and responsibility, in the same circle.
Under the initiative Dancing Hearts, Caring Hands, a portion of the event proceeds is directed towards the welfare, education and empowerment of underprivileged and differently-abled children through our NGO association.
In previous years a part of every registration went the same way. We intend to keep it that way.

Moments from Raas Rang
Ninety seconds is enough to understand what the ground feels like at 10 PM.
Yes. Season passes and single-night passes are both valid. Season passes are pre-booked online; a limited number of single-night passes are sold at the venue counters each evening, subject to capacity.
Traditional attire is strongly encouraged and it's what makes the ground look the way it does. Spectators may enter in modest casual wear, but anyone joining the Garba circles is asked to be in traditional clothing.
Yes — wooden dandiyas only. Metal, painted or embellished sticks are not permitted for safety reasons. Wooden sets are also available at the venue counters.
Yes. Raas Rang is a family event with separate family circles, a first-aid booth, security screening at every gate and CCTV coverage across the ground. Children under 8 enter free with a paying adult.
Yes. Single-night passes are available for every night. If you plan to come more than twice, the season pass works out cheaper and gets you priority gate entry.
Yes, mall parking is available for two- and four-wheelers with dedicated valet bays for VIP pass holders. We recommend arriving before 7:15 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
