Kirtidan Lowers Garba Pass Fees from ₹1,700 to ₹1,000 Amid Dome Collapse Sign

Kirtidan, the organization behind the annual garba festival, has announced a new pricing structure for its passes, lowering the cost from ₹1,700 to ₹1,000. The decision comes after a recent incident in which a dome at the festival venue collapsed, an event the organizers interpreted as a positive sign. The reduced fee is expected to make the festival more accessible to a broader audience, with the organization estimating that the new price could increase attendance by up to 30%. In a brief statement, a Kirtidan spokesperson said the price cut reflects the organization’s commitment to community engagement and its belief that cultural celebrations should be affordable for all. The change will take effect from the next festival season, and passes will be available for purchase through the official website and authorized vendors.
