त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Chandani Padvo | The autumn full-moon night, in Ashvin | Surat spends the night on its rooftops eating ghari and bhusu. It is the one occasion in the Gujarati calendar defined almost entirely by a single sweet, and the ghari shops work through the preceding week to supply it. |
| Dang Darbar | The days before Holi, in March | A fair at Ahwa at which the descendants of the Dangs' five raja and several naik families receive an annual payment from the state — a continuation of the sums agreed in the nineteenth century in exchange for forest leases — handed over in public before several days of Dangi dancing, wrestling and a market. It is an unusual survival: a colonial-era forest transaction that became a folk festival. |
| Holi in the Dangs | Phalgun, February or March | The principal festival of the forest slope, larger by far than Diwali, with days of Dangi Nritya, gher troupes going house to house, and a repertoire of songs that belongs to this season alone. |
| Ganesh Chaturthi in Surat | Bhadrapad, August or September | Ten days of household and street installations and a large immersion procession — a Maharashtra-scale observance in a Gujarati city, and the plainest evidence on the calendar that this coast faces south as much as north. |
| Navratri | Nine nights in Ashvin | Garba grounds across Surat and the estuary towns, with Kathiawadi and Surti circles running side by side — a direct consequence of the diamond and textile workforce having come from the peninsula. |
| Ashara Mubaraka | The first ten days of Muharram, lunar | The Dawoodi Bohra observance of Karbala, with daily sermons and marsiya recitation. Surat has been a principal centre of the community's religious instruction since the early nineteenth century, and the congregation each year is very large wherever it is held. |
| Navroz and Pateti | Around 21 March, and again in August | Zoroastrians here observe more than one new year, because the community's calendars diverged — Jamshedi Navroz falls at the spring equinox, while the Shahenshahi calendar in general use puts Navroz in August, with Pateti, a day of reckoning, immediately before it. The multiplicity is a calendrical fact, not a disagreement about the festival. |
| Udvada Utsav | Periodically since 2015, in winter | A gathering at Udvada bringing the dispersed Parsi community back to the village of the Iranshah for music, food and lectures — an explicit response to the community's demographic contraction. |
| Saputara Monsoon Festival | July–August | A state-run festival on the hill through the wettest weeks, with Dangi performance, craft stalls and boating on the lake. It is the main reason the Dangs sees visitors in the season when it is at its best. |
