“Kyaaaa bath hai … this is the magic of Falguni dandiya,” said another. A third user wrote, “Crazy!!! Kyu bhul gaye na cold play? (You’ve forgotten Coldplay, right?)” Another user commented, “Mobile phone kaha rakhe hongy Sabne? (Where must have these people kept their mobile phones?)”

Falguni Pathak’s Navratri celebration at the Swargiya Pramod Mahajan Maidan is now in its seventh year. The event draws massive crowds each year.

Organisers expected more than 30,000 attendees each day, with the total number of participants over the ten-day festival likely to surpass half a million, said an ANI report. This year’s Navratri is turning out to be one of the biggest celebrations in the state.
