Just the way Ganesh Chaturthi was a low-key affair this year, Navratri, too, is not likely to see any frenetic activity in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Large-scale garba organisers have planned not to host the events even though there is no word yet from the state government on it.

Organiser of dandiya event Falguni Pathak at Borivli, Vicky Shashtri said, "How do we organise the event if the government gives permission for only 100-200 people when around 15,000 people play garba at the ground every year? We usually start preparing for it in June-July, but this year it's impossible to organise the event."
