Navratri 2026 Garba Passes In Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Delhi

Navratri 2026 Garba Passes in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Delhi

Ahmedabad, India, 2026-10-19 — Looking for garba passes in Ahmedabad this Navratri 2026? See top garba events in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar & Delhi with dates, venues & prices from ₹99.

Every September the same conversation starts in every Gujarati household. “Aa vakhte kya ramva jaishu?” (Where are we playing this year?) Someone wants a big party plot with a famous singer. Someone else wants a mandali garba where you can play properly without getting pushed around. And one cousin always says they’ll decide “last week”, then ends up buying a pass outside the gate at double the price.

This year, let’s sort it out early. Navratri starts on 11 October, and passes for most of the good grounds are already live. Here’s every garba event on Endless Event this season, city by city, with what each one is best for.

Navratri Garba in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad doesn’t do one Navratri. It does fifty, spread across the city, and each ground has its own crowd. These are the seven on the list.

Aapna Garba: a pre-Navratri warm-up (26 Sept)
Popat Ni Gokh · Saturday, 26 September · 7:30 PM · from ₹199

Start with this one, because it’s different from everything else here. Aapna Garba isn’t a DJ night or a party plot. It’s a small, close gathering where people sit together, sing the old garbas our grandparents sang for Mataji, and then play around the garbi in a circle, the old way.

You probably know some of these garbas from a pol or a sheri when you were a kid, and you might still remember a line in your dadi’s voice. That’s the whole idea. It’s organised by Citynivarta, and it’s a lovely way to get into the Navratri mood two weeks early. So if you are searching for the best garba in ahmedabad, look no further than Endless Event.

Aangan: The Mandali Garba (11–20 Oct)
Arristo Resorts and Club · 11:00 PM onwards · from ₹999

If you’ve given up on crowded grounds where you spend more time dodging elbows than playing, Aangan is built for you. It’s pitched as Ahmedabad’s premium mandali garba, with a resort venue, a curated crowd and live mandali music. It starts late (11 PM) and costs more than most passes on this list. That’s the trade-off for space and a quieter, more traditional experience. Their line says it well: Mandali ek. Bhav ek. Anubhav apar. (One mandali. One feeling. An experience beyond measure.)

Blue Butterfly Royal Mandli Garba (11–19 Oct)
ATIRA, IIM Road · 9:00 PM · from ₹799

This is another mandali-style option, and it has the most central location on the list. ATIRA sits right on IIM Road, so it’s easy to reach from both sides of the river. A known mandali artist performs live every night, and there’s theme décor, parking, bouncers and CCTV. Pick this if you want a traditional feel without driving to the edge of the city.

Fadiyu Season 3 (11–19 Oct)
Patel’s Cricket Ground · 9:00 PM · from ₹499

Fadiyu is back for its third year, and anyone who went last time knows why. It’s a big open ground with live performances and high energy from the first dhol beat to the last round. Their tagline sums it up: “Fari Ek Vaar” (one more time). Pick this if your group wants a lively, young crowd at a mid-range price.

Karnavati No Sanedo (11–19 Oct)
Aagaman Party Plot, Vandemataram Road, Gota · 9:00 PM · from ₹199

This is one of the best-value garba passes in the city. A different orchestra group plays every night, so the music keeps changing through the festival. The food court is fully vegetarian and has Jain options, which matters a lot when you’re bringing the whole family, elders included. It’s easy to reach from SG Highway and has plenty of parking.

Raasleela Nikol (10–19 Oct)
Nikol, Ring Road · 9:00 PM · from ₹199

East Ahmedabad, this one’s for you. Raasleela starts a day early on 10 October and has a different orchestra and celebrity every night. It’s clearly made for families. There’s a kids’ play area, a traditional zone, a selfie zone, a food court, big parking, and a lucky draw where you can win an electric bike. For ₹199, that’s a lot.

Shakti Sandhyaa Season 4 (11–19 Oct)
Ahmedabad (venue to be announced) · 8:00 PM · from ₹299

Shakti Sandhyaa promises nine nights with nine different artists on a large open-air ground, with organised parking and a food zone. The venue hasn’t been announced yet. If you already trust the Shakti Sandhyaa name from earlier seasons, booking now gets you the early price. Otherwise, keep an eye on the page.

Navratri Garba in Gandhinagar

Thanganat Navratri Mahotsav 2026 (11–20 Oct)
Sector 6/D, Gandhinagar · 8:00 PM · from ₹800

If you care about who’s singing, this is the strongest Gandhinagar Garba line-up in Gujarat on the list. Kajal Maheriya, Divya Thakor, Sagar Patel, Payal Vaidya, Trusha Rami, Ravi Shah, Shefali Shah and Ankita Shah are all performing, with different artists on different nights. It’s live folk music with proper dhol, organised by the Thanganat Art & Cultural Foundation.

Gandhinagar residents get this on their doorstep. For people in north Ahmedabad, it’s closer than some grounds in your own city.

Navratri Garba in Delhi

Raas Dandiya Night (16–18 Oct)
Gandhi Darshan Museum, New Delhi · 4:00 PM onwards · from ₹99

“Kem cho, Dilli?” For every Gujarati in Delhi NCR who misses home during Navratri, and every Delhiite who has always wanted to try dandiya, this is the one to go to. It runs for three days with live dandiya, music, DJ nights, games and a competition with cash prizes. Everyone gets a pair of dandiya sticks free, so you don’t need to bring your own.

Tickets start at ₹99. Almost 3,000 people have already marked themselves interested, more than any other Navratri event on Endless Event this year, so don’t wait long.

Quick pick: which garba suits you?

  • Want traditional mandali garba with space to play: Aangan or Blue Butterfly
  • Want to see big-name folk singers live: Thanganat, Gandhinagar
  • Coming with family, kids and elders: Karnavati No Sanedo or Raasleela Nikol
  • College group on a budget: Fadiyu or Raasleela Nikol
  • Want something old-school before Navratri starts: Aapna Garba, 26 September
  • Living in Delhi NCR: Raas, obviously

A few tips before you book

Buy season passes early. Prices on most grounds go up as Navratri gets closer, and the best ones sell out by the fifth or sixth night.

Keep your pass on your phone. Endless Event uses contactless mobile tickets, so you don’t need a printout and you won’t be stuck at the gate searching through WhatsApp. Get the app and every pass stays in one place.

Carry an ID. Many grounds check that the name on the pass matches the person entering.

Wear comfortable footwear, or play barefoot where it’s allowed. Nine nights is a marathon.

Navratri comes once a year. Nine nights, one circle, and everyone you love playing in it. Pick your ground, book your pass, and we’ll see you there.
