Navaratri festival is here and it’s time to celebrate it with dance, music, food offerings, and puja. Several organizations have lined up garba and dandia dances with live music. So take out your dandias, put on your chaniya cholis, kurtis, and jeans, and get ready to boogie to the beat of the dhol. Here are some venues you can go to:
