Navratri is a nine-night festival honouring Goddess Durga, and it brings a rush of colour, rhythm and devotion to every corner of the city.
In Pune, the festive energy is hard to miss, with lawns, hotels and malls turning into glowing dance floors after sunset. Known for its mix of cultures and communities, Pune welcomes every style of celebration, from traditional Garba and Raas to modern Dandiya nights with live DJs and folk singers.
Dress the part in vibrant chaniya cholis, kediyas or kurtas, and you’ll feel part of the festival from the moment you walk in. If you’ve never played Garba before, don’t worry. Watch the crowd, learn a few basic steps at a workshop or on the dance floor, and you’ll be dancing along in no time.
