Before you head out, keep a few things in mind to truly enjoy the festive spirit.

Carry a pair of your own dandiya sticks, even though many venues provide them, and keep some cash handy for food stalls and shopping. Most importantly, stay hydrated and pace yourself. The nights are long, energetic, and full of excitement. With the right spirit and preparation, you’ll make unforgettable memories this Navratri.
