Patna: Patna is gearing up for a colourful Navratri, with a line-up of Dandia nights featuring celebrities, DJs and traditional Garba to draw in festival-goers.
Munmun Dutta, best known as Babita from the long-running television sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, will be one of the headline attractions this year. She is set to appear at Maharaja Garden on Bailey Road on September 28, with organisers promising a musical night and selfies for five lucky attendees.
Other performers include Bigg Boss contestant Deepak Thakur, Bhojpuri actor Trishakar Madhu and singer Swati Mishra, each scheduled at different venues across the city. From remixed Dandia beats for younger crowds to traditional Garba for the Gujarati community, organisers are blending old and new to capture Patna’s festive spirit.
Residents have already begun searching for tickets ahead of Navratri, which begins this weekend.
