Only 500 a night
Room to actually play. No crush, no elbow-to-elbow floor, no queue for water. When the passes are gone, they are gone.
॥ जय माता दी ॥
दो रातें · पाँच सौ लोग · एक पूरा शहर नाचेगा
Poolside at Devika Hotel & Resort, Salaiya — Hoshangabad Road, Bhopal. Live dhol, a proper Gujarati mandli, and a floor capped at 500 people a night.
Kids under 10 free · Valet parking · Female security on the floor · Music stops 10 PM sharp
Hard cap. Not a number we quietly raise on the day.
Saptami and Ashtami — the best weekend of Navratri.
7:00 to 10:00 PM, every minute of it programmed.
A small, capped allocation. Everything else is couples and families.
We capped the floor at 500 because a garba night stops being fun the moment you can't lift your arms. Everything below follows from that one decision.
Room to actually play. No crush, no elbow-to-elbow floor, no queue for water. When the passes are gone, they are gone.
A real Gujarati mandli with live dhol and sehnai alongside the DJ — not a playlist on a laptop for four hours.
Gates at 6, garba from 7, done by 10. Built around Bhopal's sound rules so families can come and still get home at a sane hour.
Most of the room is couples, families and mixed groups. Stag entry exists but is capped at 60 passes a night — with female security on the floor and a separate family lane at the gate.
Poolside lawn, lake air, clean washrooms you would let your mother use, and gated parking inside the property.
Best chaniya choli and best kediyu judged both nights, plus a garba face-off. Bring the outfit you have been saving.
Saturday · Gates 6:00 PM · Garba 7:00–10:00 PM
Traditional raas and garba with the mandli, opening aarti at 6:45, and the best-dressed round at 9.
Sunday · Gates 6:00 PM · Garba 7:00–10:00 PM
Dandiya raas, the garba face-off, and the season's biggest tracks to close out the weekend.
Both-nights passes cover 17 and 18 October regardless of the toggle.

A booking fee of ₹19 per person is added at checkout. Children under 10 enter free and do not need a pass. Passes are non-refundable but freely transferable — send yours to a friend if you can't make it.
If the district administration grants a Navratri extension, we'll run to 11 PM and announce it here first.
Photographs from this year's shoot land shortly. Until then — here is exactly what you'll walk into.
Anything not covered here, message us. Someone actually replies.
WhatsApp usAfter payment you get a pass with a QR code — on screen straight away, and on WhatsApp and email as backup. Show the QR at the gate, we scan it, you get a wristband and you're in.
If your phone dies or you can't find the message, every pass also carries a short code like DGM-7K4Q. Tell that to the gate staff, or just give the mobile number you booked with. We will find you.
This is a couples-and-families floor, and most of the room is booked that way. We do sell a limited stag allocation — 60 passes a night, and once those are gone they are gone. Single men without a valid stag pass will not be admitted.
We keep the mix deliberate: female security on the floor, a separate family lane at the gate, and staff briefed to act on anything that makes a guest uncomfortable. That is what makes families comfortable here, and we enforce it.
Children under 10 enter free and don't need a pass. Above 10, they need a regular pass. The Family Pass admits four people of any age.
Your pass covers entry and the full programme. Food and drinks are from paid stalls on the lawn — chaat, Gujarati snacks, live counters and desserts. The VIP Table includes a welcome drink and a snack platter.
Passes are non-refundable. They are, however, completely transferable — forward the pass to whoever is going instead and it will scan normally at the gate. Nothing needs changing on our side.
If the event is cancelled or moved by us, you get a full refund within seven working days.
Traditional. Chaniya choli, kediyu, kurta — whatever you have. There are prizes for best dressed on both nights, judged at 9 PM, so it is worth the effort. Please avoid heels on the lawn.
Inside the resort, with valet from 5:45 PM. Overflow parking is arranged nearby with a shuttle, and the route is signposted from Hoshangabad Road on both nights.
Bhopal district has a standing order restricting loudspeakers and DJ systems after 10 PM. We would rather start earlier and run a proper evening than get shut down mid-garba. If an extension is granted for Navratri, we will run to 11 and announce it here.
Don't book again. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 9039013819 with the reference number and your UPI transaction ID, and we'll issue the pass manually within an hour.

We'll send your pass to WhatsApp and email.
