Before You Go
- Book early. Weekend nights, especially 16 to 18 October, tend to sell out first.
- Dress for dancing. Choose breathable fabric and flat, secure footwear, and see our chaniya choli guide for outfit ideas.
- Plan your ride home. Late-night events can mean surge pricing and crowds, so check metro timings and pre-book a cab where possible.
- Check what the ticket includes. Food, dandiya sticks and entry rules vary by event.
