“Navratri is a festival that Gujarat people enjoy fully, and prepare for months before the festival.
Rain or not rain, people have high hopes of the Garba community and hope to maximize it,” said Ankur Aggarwal, Chair of Orchid Harmoni in Near Shantipura Circle.
If the commercial place, the organizers will struggle to keep a large-scale, club and dry lawn, ensuring no damage to the equipment and sound system and so on.

The plan is as usual.
We usually don’t put the sound system in advance, so there is no damage .
People are ready to start with Aarti and then enjoy playing Garba.
