Pandemic has not gone and Navratri is here so few changes can be expected this year too. Preparations can’t be smooth as they used to be and devotees will have to face restrictions on Navratris in several cities. One that is imposed by the Maharashtra government can make Navratri dull as it has decided to ban dandiya and Garba.

And it is not only Maharashtra, other states like Gujarat, Delhi, and UP have also announced guidelines to be followed during Navaratri. Here’s what is a ban and allowed from 7th Oct-15th Oct.
