Dasara in Bangalore is about gratitude, togetherness, and celebration, from the poojas at home to the buzz in the city and the joy of creating festive experiences.
There’s something special about celebrating Dasara in Bangalore. The city comes alive with a blend of tradition and modernity — from age-old neighborhood rituals to the energy of community gatherings in parks, streets, and temples. The festival feels less like a performance and more like a reminder of our shared roots, whether you grew up here or moved here and found a home. In many homes across Bangalore, the festival isn’t just about rituals indoors but also about how we extend the warmth of the season outside. What is meaningful is how these gestures invite community — neighbours stopping by to share sweets, children playing around a decorated corner, or families gathering under open skies after puja. In a city as fast-paced as ours, these small acts of slowing down and creating festive corners outdoors remind us that Dasara is not just about victory of good over evil, but also about light, connection, and belonging.
As a Bangalore-born brand, Oorjaa has handcrafted pieces, made from reclaimed and natural materials, are designed to hold light that connects people, spaces, and moments — just as Dasara lamps connect homes and streets across the city. For them, light is never just spectacle. It is a companion, carrying meaning, memory, and the warmth of togetherness — in every corner of our city, and in every piece they craft. During Dasara, Dash Square runs special offers that add to the festive joy, because it’s not just about furniture, it’s about being a part of people’s homes and celebrations.
What makes their Dasara special is the way corporate teams from across India comes together. Each person brings their own traditions and practices, and together they create a puja that is simple yet deeply heartfelt. It is not bound by strict ritual, but by respect, inclusivity, and joy.
Dandiya nights are an integral part of the festive fabric and Bhartiya Mall has organised Dandiya Nights on 30th September and 1st October 2025, from 6:00 PM onwards. The evening is expected to see tradition infused with glamour, transforming the dance floor into a dazzling tapestry of colours, beats, and laughter.
