“Kankupagla” refers to the sacred red footprints made using kanku (vermillion) — traditionally drawn to welcome the Goddess during Navratri. Symbolically, it marks the beginning of devotion, celebration, and divine presence in Gujarati households. For us, it’s an invocation — a call to the spirit of Navratri before it begins.
The event is inspired by a desire to reimagine Garba with cultural depth and contemporary aesthetics — blending spiritual roots, traditional rituals, and modern celebration formats. It is a tribute to Sheri Garba, created for a generation that seeks both meaning and immersive experiences.
Kankupagla is rooted in the belief that culture should not be compromised for modernity — it should evolve with it. It’s about restoring ritual to rhythm and offering people a sacred yet casual way to reconnect with Navratri through movement, music, and community.
