The Navratri festival has begun, and many organisers are worried about the rain forecast in Mumbai. With heavy showers predicted for the entire week, some have built domes, others have put up roofs, while open-ground garba organisers have laid anti-slip carpets to prevent mishaps. This year, five major garba events are being held in Borivli West. Despite the forecast, organisers told mid-day that the celebrations will go on, rain or not.
