Question

Write a report on how Navaratri Mahotsav was celebrated in your society with the

observance of social distance and masks on.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Gujarat government has banned garba completely but has allowed a no-contact worship of the idol or image of Goddess Durga, called Ma Amba in Gujarat, during the nine days of Navratri. As per the protocol, touching of the idol/photograph or distribution of prasad is banned.

maximum of 200 people are allowed at such a worship event which can be held up to an hour with permission of the local administration. Usually, garba events organised by local Resident Welfare Associations would not require permissions but they would have to stick to the deadlines for use of microphones which are usually extended up to midnight on nights of the garba. Large-scale commercial garba events required permission of the local police, district collector, fire department, Food and Drugs control department if there were food stalls at the venue.
