Hindu organizations like the Hindu Jagran Manch are protesting against paid Garba events because they charge entry fees for young people and couples, which they claim leads to the spread of obscenity and commercialization contrary to religious traditions.
Activists from the Hindu Jagran Manch's women's wing and other members visited Shubh Bakery at Teen Batti, which sponsors the event, engaged in a 15-minute argument with the owner, and tore down posters and banners displayed at the shop.
The Navratri festival is scheduled to be celebrated from October 11 to 20, during which various Garba and Dandiya programs are planned across the city.
