It's the most exciting time of the year as Navratri, the festival that heralds Dussehra, brings a mix of colours, dance and celebrations. Westcoast has venues that promise loads of festivities but here are four of our top picks for you:
The venue is probably the most popular in western suburbs, which sees garba enthusiasts flock in huge numbers. This year, the Naidu Club is organising Navratri at the Kora Kendra Grounds and has much to offer in terms of gifts and prize money to the best dancers. The grand finale plans are ambitious as prize money will be around one crore.
Venue: Kora Kendra Grounds, RM Bhattad Road, Borivli (W). Time: 6:30 pm onwards.
The Juhu Jagruti Charitable Trust, in its 39th year, has organised the Navratri Mahotsav with Manish Parekh and his band. Extremely popular with students of various schools and colleges of the SVKM group, this place sees a huge footfall every year.
Venue: Jasodha Rang Mandir, 1st road, Juhu. Time: 6:30 pm onwards.
The club is naturally the first choice of all Navratri lovers across the city as the queen of dandiya, Falguni Pathak, performs here. Rangeela Ras Garba is organising the garba event this year, where Pathak performs with her popular band.
