About the Event

Where the Desert Meets the Ocean

Prachin Raas Mahotsav is a traditional Kutchi Navratri celebration from the land where the desert meets the ocean and the mountains — all in one place. Step away from the city and move to the ancient rhythms of the dhol and sitar, the way garba was always meant to be danced.

Under lantern light and open skies, experience the living culture of Kutch — its music, its colours, its food, and above all its people. This is not a stage show; it is a homecoming.
