Gujarat, Ahmedabad 04 October 2024: The 11th edition of the highly anticipated BNI Garba Night marked a vibrant beginning to Ahmedabad’s Navratri festivities. Having established itself as one of the city’s most cherished private Garba celebrations, the BNI Garba Night brought together BNI members, their families and garba enthusiasts for an unforgettable night of devotion and rhythm.
Themed around the colour Red, symbolising Shakti (power) and Shukan (auspicious beginnings) in Hindu mythology, the event captured the essence of divine feminine energy. Thousands of participants adorned in radiant red danced to the tunes of traditional garba, creating a sea of passion and energy at BNI Village, the largest Garba venue in the city.

We are thankful to BNI members and the wider BNI community for making the event a huge success, and we are excited to keep raising the bar in the years to come.”
