Kick off the festive season in Mumbai at the iconic Shivaji Park, where one of the largest Dussehra celebrations takes place. This iconic location comes alive with the large-scale effigy burning of Ravana, attracting thousands of people every year and the energy of the place and the people is totally unmatched.
Ahmedabad is synonymous with Navratri, and there’s no better place to soak in the celebrations than the Ratri Bazaar. This nighttime marketplace stays buzzing throughout the nine days of Navratri, serving up festive snacks while garba and dandiya nights keep the crowd dancing until dawn.
Diwali celebrations in Indore are incomplete without visiting the Rajwada Palace, which turns into a breathtaking sight with thousands of lights and festive decorations. According to Yadav, the palace’s stunning Diwali makeover, combined with the local Diwali Mela, creates the perfect setting for festive celebrations in the city.
Overlooking the Pink City, the fort offers panoramic views of Jaipur, which lights up on every corner during Diwali. The fireworks display from this point is one of the best in the city, making it a spectacular way to take in the festival of lights.
Hyderabad’s Tank Bund Road becomes a hub of festive energy during Dussehra. Grand processions take over the streets, with colourful celebrations that draw in massive crowds. Surya recommends this as one of the best places to witness the cultural beauty of Hyderabad.
