Good initiative but I hope they've made proper arrangements for parking and crowd management. Last year the GMDC ground was quite chaotic. Safety should be priority during such large events.

Visiting from Canada and absolutely thrilled to experience my first Navratri in Ahmedabad! The cultural program with 1000 artists sounds spectacular. Can't wait to see the handicraft market.

While the festival looks great, I wish they'd focus more on affordable pricing. The food court and merchandise should be accessible to common people, not just tourists.
