Heavy rains threaten Navratri celebrations in South Gujarat
The Free Press Journal - Mumbai
|September 18, 2025
With only days to go before Navratri, South Gujarat has been lashed by heavy rains, sending shockwaves among Garba organisers and revellers who fear damage to festival grounds and decorations prepared at a cost of lakhs of rupees.
The sudden downpour has not only disrupted normal life in Valsad, Tapi, and Surat but has also cast a shadow over the state's most awaited festival.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the region, warning of continued light to moderate rainfall over the next 24 hours - a forecast that could dampen the spirit of Navratri.
