As the nights grow lively and the air fills with anticipation, Mumbai gears up for Navratri, a festival that literally means ‘nine nights’ and celebrates Goddess Durga in all her nine dazzling forms. From 1st to 9th, the city transforms: homes sparkle with diyas and rangolis, streets shimmer with lights, and the aroma of flowers and festive treats drifts through every corner. Across India, the celebration takes many shapes. Gujarat twirls to the rhythm of Garba and Dandiya, West Bengal honours Durga with grand rituals, but in Mumbai, it’s a full-blown carnival. Clubs, auditoriums, and even open grounds echo with music and dance, swirling colours, and infectious energy, making every night feel like a celebration you can’t afford to miss.

Nine Nights, Dandiya Delights

 
When it comes to Navratri in Mumbai, the city transforms into a pulsating playground of music, lights, and endless energy. For nine nights, the streets and venues come alive with the rhythmic beats of Garba, the clatter of Dandiya sticks, and swirls of vibrant attire as people dance into the night. From sprawling community grounds to elegant auditoriums, the celebrations blend tradition with a modern twist, turning every evening into a spectacle you won’t forget.

Iconic venues like the Andheri Sports Complex and Shivaji Park become epicentres of festivity, drawing families, friends, and dance enthusiasts from every corner of the city. Mumbaikars eagerly wait for these events, marking their calendars for nights of music, lights, and sheer joy. Over the years, celebrity-led Garba nights have added a glamorous flair, bringing Bollywood vibes, professional choreographers, and star-studded energy to the city’s favourite festival. Whether you’re a seasoned participant or a first-timer, Navratri is your invitation to dive into a whirlwind of dance, devotion, and dazzling lights, where every night feels like a celebration of life itself.

Queen of Spins

 
Meet Falguni Pathak, the girl born on 12th March 1969, who somehow decided, “Why just sing when you can make the whole world spin?” Fast forward a few years, and Mumbai had found its Dandiya Queen, the one whose songs make ghagras twirl, dhols boom, and feet dance like they’ve got a mind of their own. Each track from Falguni Pathak all-songs collection twirls, jingles, and spins, radiating playful rhythm and infectious energy. From the jingling Chhankai of her payals to the clinking of bangles in her tunes, every beat sweeps listeners into a joyous whirl, making it impossible to stay still.

With her band, Tha Thaiyaa, Falguni took this magic far beyond Mumbai, turning every stage into a festival of colour and sound. Garba and Dandiya became a celebration felt across the globe, with fans everywhere spinning, clapping, and moving in sync with her unstoppable rhythm. Rain or shine, nothing slows her down—puddles turn into dance floors, and the crowd twirls and laughs along. Falguni Pathak isn’t just a singer; she’s a festival in motion, a whirlwind of music and joy that transforms Navratri into nine nights of dizzying, unforgettable fun.

Where Twinkling Lights Meet Whirling Ghagras
