Your face is your ticket
Mandalam Garba 2026 is an eleven-night Navratri celebration in Ahmedabad — a Pre-Navratri opening on 10 October, then nine nights of Navratri and a closing night, running through to 20 October. Every night is 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM.
When is Mandalam Garba 2026?
Eleven nights, 10 to 20 October 2026, each running 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM. The Pre-Navratri night on 10 October starts the run a day before Navratri proper, which makes it one of the earliest garba nights in the city this year.
How much are Mandalam Garba passes?
Two options per night:
Rs 799 — entry only.
Rs 999 — entry with food.
The Rs 200 difference covers food on the night. If you are staying until 5:00 AM, the food pass is usually the better call — eight hours of garba is a long time to go without eating.
Is entry gender-wise?
Yes. Mandalam Garba uses gender-wise entry, so there are separate gates for men and women. Check which gate applies to you before you arrive so you are not crossing the venue at the entrance.
Can I book more than one night?
Yes. Every night is sold separately, so you can book a single night, a few, or the full run. Note that a pass is tied to the night you book — it cannot be moved to a different night later.
Refunds and cancellations
All sales are final. Passes are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled, exchanged, or moved to another night. Book the night you are sure about.
How does entry work?
Entry is by face. You scan once when you book, then walk in on the night — no printed ticket, no QR code to find, no queue at the gate. With eleven nights and a large crowd, this is the difference between walking in and standing in line.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Rs 799 and Rs 999 pass? Food. The Rs 999 pass includes it.
Can I switch my pass to another night? No. Passes are tied to the night booked.
What time does it finish? 5:00 AM.
Do I need to carry a ticket? No — your face is your ticket.
