The 13th edition of BNI Garba to open Navratri celebrations on October 11 at Master Farm near Vaishnodevi Circle
AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT | 17th SEPTEMBER 2026 | BNI Ahmedabad formally unveiled BNI Garba 2026, setting the stage for the opening night of Navratri celebrations on October 11. Entering its 13th year, BNI Garba will introduce a new dimension to its annual festivities with Ahmedabad’s first Masquerade Garba, blending traditional Garba, music and dance with mystery and playfulness.
Presented by A. Shridhar and powered by Carz Bazzar, BNI Garba 2026 was unveiled on Thursday in the presence of BNI Ahmedabad members, along with their families, friends and guests. The evening offered a first glimpse of the celebrations planned for the first night of Navratri, with the Masquerade theme bringing a fresh twist to the traditional festivities.
Over the past 13 years, BNI Garba has grown from a gathering of BNI members into a large-scale Navratri celebration that brings together thousands of entrepreneurs, families and friends. Held on the first night of Navratri, the event has become an annual occasion for the BNI family to celebrate Gujarati culture, enjoy the festive spirit and spend time together beyond their professional networks.
The Masquerade theme will bring an element of intrigue to this year’s celebrations, as guests step into an evening where the familiar rhythms of Garba meet the mystery of a masquerade. Traditional music, festive décor and the energy of the dance floor will retain the essence of Navratri, while masks, dandiya and the theme will add an element of surprise and playfulness to the experience.
Yash Vasant, Chairman and Executive Director of BNI Ahmedabad, said, “For us, BNI Garba has always been far more than an evening of music and dance. Over 13 years, it has grown into a remarkable celebration of our culture, our relationships and the spirit of togetherness that defines the BNI family. Every edition has added another chapter to that journey, and this year we wanted to create something that feels different, playful and intriguing.”
“The Masquerade theme gives everyone an opportunity to be whoever they want to be. Forget your titles and your roles, bring out the inner child and immerse yourself in Garba. We want garba revellers to walk in with curiosity and lose themselves in the music and leave with memories that stay with them long after the final beat. It is our way of giving Ahmedabad a fresh expression of Navratri while keeping the spirit of Garba at its heart.”
BNI Garba 2026 will be held at Master Farm, beside Sardardham near Vaishnodevi Circle. The new venue, spread over 2.70 lakh sq ft and featuring a 40,000 sq ft dedicated garba playing area, provides a more expansive setting for the celebrations and giving revellers more space to enjoy the evening.
With the formal unveiling, the countdown to BNI Garba 2026 has begun. The organisers invite the BNI family and Garba enthusiasts to join the celebrations on the opening night of Navratri and experience the traditional energy of Garba with a mysterious new twist. The celebrations will carry forward the spirit of #PehliNavratriBNIRatri and #AapdaGarbaBNIGarba.
