What’s Trending This Navratri in India?
06 September 2025
Navratri is one of India’s most vibrant and celebrated festivals, bringing together tradition, music, and joy for nine unforgettable nights. Every year, the festival grows bigger and better, with organisers, brands, and communities creating unique garba and dandiya experiences for people of all ages. What was once a simple cultural celebration has now transformed into a mix of tradition, innovation, and style, with premium venues, private events, influencer promotions, and advanced technology shaping the way we celebrate.
Navratri 2025 is no exception—it’s all about exclusive garbas, seamless ticketing, luxury experiences, and creative event ideas that make the festival more exciting than ever. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the latest trends for Navratri in India and how platforms like Wowsly are helping organizers deliver unforgettable celebrations.
1. Private Garbas Are Taking Over
One of the biggest changes this year is the rise of private garbas. Earlier, garbas were mostly organised by societies, communities, and associations, but now private garba events are becoming more popular than ever.
Event organisers, companies, and venues are hosting their own private garba nights. Many brands and businesses are also using private garba events as a way to promote their venues or products. From big cities to small towns, private garbas are everywhere, and people love the exclusivity and organisation these events offer.
2. Paid Garbas Are in High Demand
Another big trend is the growing popularity of paid garba events. People don’t mind spending money for a well-organised, safe, and enjoyable garba night. Instead of waiting for passes, many are choosing to buy their tickets in advance to make sure they get entry without hassle.
This shows how much people value the experience – they are ready to pay for comfort, convenience, and quality entertainment.
3. Premium and Luxury Garba Experiences
This year, we’re seeing a major shift from simple garbas to premium garba experiences. These events are designed like luxury festivals, offering food, drinks, entertainment, and a memorable vibe – all in one ticket.
People are looking for more than just dancing; they want a complete experience with music, ambience, and premium facilities. Luxury garbas are attracting crowds who want to enjoy Navratri in style and comfort.
4. AC Domes and Mandli-Style Garbas
Many events this year are being hosted in AC domes to make sure guests enjoy dancing without discomfort. Along with this, mandli-style garbas are becoming popular.
While orchestras and DJs are still a part of Navratri, mandli-style performances are a throwback to traditional garba roots. These events focus on authentic garba tunes and live singing, which makes the experience more cultural and meaningful.
5. Technology-Driven Navratri Events
Technology is playing a big role in shaping Navratri celebrations. From online ticket booking to QR code passes and contactless check-ins, everything has become faster and smarter.
This is where Wowsly is leading the way. Wowsly is working with 100+ garba organisers across India, helping them upgrade their events with easy ticketing, digital payments, personalised websites, and QR code entry systems. With such seamless tech solutions, both organisers and attendees enjoy a smooth, stress-free Navratri experience.
Wowsly’s innovative tools are helping event organisers manage their events better while giving customers a premium and hassle-free entry process.
6. Hampers and Special Merchandise
Another exciting trend is the rise of Navratri hampers. Organisers and brands are creating special gift hampers for participants, influencers, and VIP guests.
These hampers often include festive goodies, accessories, skincare products, or souvenirs, adding a touch of personalisation and luxury to the celebrations. People love receiving these hampers as memories of their favourite Navratri nights.
7. Influencer and Social Media Promotions
Navratri has become a massive trend on social media. Influencers are collaborating with brands and event organisers to create stunning reels, videos, and promotional content.
With platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, garba events are reaching millions of people online. Many organisers are now investing in influencer marketing to attract a larger audience and make their garba nights go viral.
8. New Cities Joining the Garba Craze
Traditionally, Navratri celebrations were strongest in cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, and Rajkot. But now, we are seeing new cities entering the garba scene.
Places like Udaipur, Jaipur, and several cities in North and South Gujarat are organising multiple garba events, creating a wave of excitement across regions. This shows that Navratri is no longer limited to a few places; it’s becoming a nationwide festival celebrated in every corner of India.
Why These Trends Matter
The rise of these trends shows how Navratri is evolving every year. People are not just attending garba for tradition; they are looking for experiences. From exclusive private events to premium luxury nights, Navratri is now a blend of culture, entertainment, and technology.
This is also a great opportunity for event organisers and brands to innovate and connect with their audiences. Whether it’s through tech solutions, influencer promotions, or unique event themes, Navratri has become a space for creativity and growth.
