Navratri 2026 begins Sunday, 11 October

Find your Garba partner in Surat.

Surat dresses up for Navratri like nowhere else. Dazzling chaniya cholis, energetic grounds and a crowd that loves a late-night snack run after. Garba helps you find someone to share it with: a dance partner, a new friend, or maybe a date.

Your Surat Garba night, planned.

Set Surat as your city, save the grounds you like and choose your nights. Whether you are in Vesu or Katargam, you see people who are going where you are going.

  • Vesu
  • Adajan
  • Piplod
  • Athwa
  • Pal
  • Citylight
  • Varachha
  • Katargam
  • Match the colour of the night

    Surat takes the nine colours seriously. Mention tonight’s colour in your chat and you will spot each other at the entrance.

  • Say what you are here for

    Garba partner, a date, or a bit of both. Your intent is on your profile, so the snack run after is only if you both want it.

  • Stay in public places

    Keep the whole plan in busy, familiar spots: the ground, the entrance, the food stalls outside. Garba never shares your live location.

Dating is optional. The dance isn’t.

Everyone on Garba answers one question first: what brings you here? Your answer sits on your profile, so the person you match with already knows what kind of night you have in mind.

Open to dating

You are single, curious and would not mind if a Garba night turned into a first date. You only see people who chose the same.

When you match, the chat opens with: You both chose to explore a dating connection.

Your comfort comes first.

Connect at your own pace. A match is an invitation to talk, never an obligation to meet or date. These tools are free on every plan.
