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.
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
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
