DANDIYA NIGHT
WHERE HERITAGE
MEETS HIGH-ENERGY
CELEBRATION.
Organized by EVENT POINT at the historic Upwan Lawn of Chanakya BNR Hotel, Raas Utsav 2026 unites ancient Gujarati folk traditions, live master dhol percussion, ceremonial Durga Aarti, and concentric circular Dandiya fellowship under Ranchi's autumn skies.
THE SPIRIT OF RAAS & DEVOTIONAL ROOTS
“In the sacred circle of Raas, every dancer is equal, every step is an offering, and every clashing dandiya stick echoes the cosmic triumph of divine righteousness.”
THE MANDALA OF CREATION
Navratri celebrates the divine shakti of Goddess Durga and the universal victory of light over ignorance. The circular concentric dance of Garba and Dandiya Raas symbolizes the eternal wheel of time, where community circles revolve harmoniously around the divine center.
THE THUNDER OF AUTHENTIC DHOL
Master dhol percussionists, traditional Gujarati beats, and celebratory Sanedo rhythms form the acoustic heartbeat of Raas Utsav. As the tempo accelerates from rhythmic circular Garba into high-energy Dandiya strikes, the entire arena resonates with infectious festive joy.
AN INCLUSIVE CELEBRATION FOR ALL
Hosted at the historic Chanakya BNR Hotel, Raas Utsav couples grand festive production with disciplined safety, dedicated family corridors, authentic pure vegetarian food stalls, and an open-air natural environment where friends and families celebrate with total peace of mind.
