Navratri and Dussehra are celebrated in Indore with great devotion, cultural vibrancy, and festive enthusiasm. Navratri spans nine nights dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga in her various forms, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
During Navratri, the city comes alive with Garba and Dandiya Raas events organized across housing societies, grounds, and clubs. People dressed in colorful traditional attire participate in night-long dances, devotional singing, and aarti ceremonies, creating a joyful and energetic atmosphere.
The celebrations culminate with Dussehra (Vijayadashami), marked by grand Ravana Dahan events held at major grounds in Indore. The burning of effigies of Ravana, Meghnad, and Kumbhkaran represents the triumph of righteousness and truth.
Navratri & Dussehra in Indore reflect the city’s deep-rooted traditions, communal harmony, and cultural richness, making it one of the most eagerly awaited festive periods of the year.
