Navratri 2009

September 28th, 2009 by Viral Leave a reply »

This year Navratri was from 19th to 27th September. For typically Gujarati person, navratri means

- To participate in arti (and obviously dont miss prasad)
- Do garba (in all possible stype, steps, as long as he can do)
- Play rass (with as many people as possible)

On top it, if he can do
- Play Sanedo
- Eat good fafda with sambharo and marchi and Hot Jalebi on Dasara

Similar to Last year, This year also I went to Jayanagar Syunkt mandal organized function, my friends and me did all above stuff :) . Everyyear, it is held at BES college in Jayanagar.

This time, I did better garba, rass than last year and obviously enjoyed more. To add more, as always, last night, we had unlimited Fafda Jalebi :) All and all, to enjoy garba in Bangalore, Jayanagar and Palace ground are best palace. Obviously, during navrati, I did meet more new gujarati people in Bangalore and had nice time with them.

  1. Hi Viral,

    I am happy to read that Navratri happened in Bangalore.

    I am looking for information of Navratri 2010. I am from Ahmedabad and very much interested in Garba and Dandiya.

    Looking forward for information and see if we can hit each other while playing Garba :P

    Cheers !!!

    Hi Jaynath,
    Sure. This year too, Navratri celebration will happen in Bangalore. I can guess venues will be:
    - Palace Ground (Gayatri Vihar and other ground too)
    - Jayanagar (BES Law college ground)
    - Rajaji nagar
    - BSK 3rd Stage
    Looking forward for it.
    WBR, Viral

    Hi Viral,

    Thanks to your blog, I got to know that you get to have Fafda in Bangalore.

    Do you have any contact details of any place which can cater Fafda/Jalebi? I am desperately looking for one for Dusshera morning for a large group of people in our apartment complex.

    Thanks.
    Suparna
