Every year around Navratri, Bengaluru starts humming with dhol beats, and the group chat fills up with one question: where are we going for Dandiya this time? If you want Dandiya nights in Bengaluru 2026 without a whole day of planning, Forum South Bengaluru is an easy answer.
Forum Dandiya Dhamaal, 16 to 18 October
Forum Dandiya Dhamaal runs from Friday, 16 October to Sunday, 18 October, and it's billed as South Bengaluru's biggest Dandiya event. That gives you three evenings to choose from. Go on all three, or pick the night that suits your crew. Each session runs for about two hours, so there's plenty of time to dance without it turning into an endurance test. The celebrations will be in English, Hindi and Kannada, which keeps things lively for everyone on the floor. Entry is open to guests aged 12 and above, and tickets are available on BookMyShow.
Part of the Forum South Bengaluru Fest
Dandiya Dhamaal sits within the Forum South Blr Fest Edition IV, which brings music, culture and community together through the festive season. So the night can be a bigger outing, with plenty happening around it.
Close to home
If you've been typing "Dandiya night near me" from JP Nagar, Banashankari or along Kanakapura Road, you're probably closer than you think. The mall is right opposite Konanakunte Cross Metro Station, so you can leave the car at home if you'd like. If you do drive, valet service, VIP parking, and EV charging are available on site.
Get the outfit sorted
Every Garba night comes with the same last-minute panic about what to wear. Forum South Bengaluru offers a range of fashion options, including Max, Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Biba, Aurelia, Soch and Taruni and more where you can find kurtas, suits, lehengas and sarees in Navratri-ready colours. A tailor at the mall is also available for quick alterations.
Eat before, eat after
Dancing works up an appetite. The fourth floor has more than 45 food and beverage options, from international cuisines to local favourites, so there's something for every craving. The mall is open from 10 AM to 10 PM every day.
A few tips
Book ahead, and wear shoes you can actually dance in. Arrive early enough to shop and eat before you step onto the floor. Bring your friends and family too, as long as everyone in the group is 12 or above.
See you there
Festive fashion, a good meal and a night of Dandiya, all in one place. Book your tickets, call your people and make this Navratri a good one.
