Dussehra
Dussehra falls on Tuesday 20 October 2026, the day after Navratri ends. A significant minority of Ahmedabad grounds add a tenth night for it, and the character of that night is different from the nine that precede it.
The citywide rush is over, most grounds have closed, and the ones still running tend to play longer and later.
Most of the city has wound down by 20 October, so the ones still open are quieter.
Closing nights tend to run their deepest Mandli sections.
A nine-night season pass does not cover Dussehra. Ten-night passes do.
Prachin Mandli Garba is a traditional Ahmedabad Mandli celebration featuring Gujarati artists, village-theme decoration, Garba and Raas, daily entertainment and a strong cultural atmosphere.
Karnavati No Sanedo pairs a main Garba ground with a Mandli session later in the night at Aagman Farm, across ten dates. At a ₹299 listed entry it is one of the lower price points in the city for a combined Garba-plus-Mandli format, which makes it a common pick for larger friend groups splitting a season plan.
Krishnamay Raas leans towards Raas — the dandiya-stick form — rather than pure circular Garba, across ten nights at Milan Farm from 8:30 PM. A ₹399 listed entry keeps it in the affordable bracket for groups who want stick work rather than a DJ-forward floor.
Dandiya Dhamal is one of the few Ahmedabad 2026 listings billed as Dandiya rather than Garba, running ten nights at Seven Star Party Plot with Jignesh Barot (Kaviraj). If you are specifically after stick-based Dandiya raas and not a Garba circle, this is the clearest fit in the city listings.
Dates, venues and starting prices are compiled from public event listings. Confirm the current rate with GetYourPass before booking — organisers adjust pricing and schedules during the season.

This is the question that catches people out. A pass covering exactly the nine Navratri nights ends on 19 October. Grounds that run a tenth night sell a ten-night pass, and the two look identical on a listing. If you want to dance on Dussehra, confirm the date is included rather than assuming.
Smaller crowds, because a large share of the city has finished. Longer sets, because the grounds still running have nothing to save energy for. And a distinctly end-of-season feel that the nine nights do not have — closing nights in Ahmedabad tend to go deepest into the morning.

Yes, at the grounds that run a tenth night. Most Ahmedabad venues close after the ninth night on 19 October, so the choice on Dussehra is considerably narrower — and the floors are correspondingly less crowded.
Only if the pass is sold as a ten-night pass. A nine-night season pass ends on 19 October. Confirm the exact dates covered before assuming Dussehra is included.
