શેરી ઓટલોનવરાત્રી · ગામડું પાછું આવ્યું છે
ભક્તિ સાથે પરંપરા નું રજવાડું અને ગ્રામીણ સંસ્કૃતિ નું અજવાળું. Ten nights of garba in a village built right inside Surat — the kuvo, the chowk, the otlo, the dhol.
Not just garba. A whole village for ten nights.
Chowk garba
Old-style circle garba around a mandvi — no DJ drop, just dhol, shehnai and lok geet.
Bullock-cart corner
Photo spot with the kuvo, gaadu and cows — the reel everyone will post.
Kathiyawadi food street
Bajra rotla, ringan no olo, khichdi-kadhi, chaas in matlas — served on the otlo.
Artisan haat
Live pottery on the chaak, bandhani, beadwork and kediyu stalls from local makers.

How does a first-year event fill a ground for ten nights?
Patidar Seva Sangh already has something most new organisers don't: a samaj network across Varachha's societies. The plan is to turn that network into sellers, and use Mepass (or District) for reach beyond it.
Three ways to sell
A · Mepass only
Their listing, checkout, e-pass and app.
- Ready today — no build time
- Existing Surat garba audience browsing the app
- They handle payments & WhatsApp passes
- Commission on every pass (confirm %)
- Buyer data mostly stays with the platform
- Hard to run society codes / member quotas their way
B · Mepass + our own layer
Mepass for discovery. Our site, society codes & counters for the samaj.
- Reach of Mepass + full control of our own network
- No commission on society/member sales
- One dashboard and one gate app for both
- Needs Mepass to share bookings (API or daily export) — ask them
- Two price lists to keep in sync
C · Our own platform only
Website + WhatsApp + gate app, fully ours.
- Lowest fee (gateway ~2%)
- All buyer data owned → next year's audience
- Custom passes, quotas, contests
- No built-in discovery — every buyer must be brought in
- 18 days to build, test and launch is tight

Launch plan
- Bhoomi Pujan as launch event — free registration on WhatsApp builds the first contact list.
- Society captains: one volunteer per society in Varachha / Kapodra / Punagam with their own code. 1 free pass per 10 sold.
- Early-bird season pass for the first 1,000 — a counter on the site creates urgency.
- Go live on Mepass the same day for outside-network reach.
- Garba classes: Varachha classes have hundreds of students practising right now — group packages for class batches.
- Surati Gujarati creators film at the village set: "ગામ તૈયાર થઈ રહ્યું છે" build-up reels.
- Colleges & diamond-unit offices: bulk passes for staff.
- Sponsor giveaways — every sponsor posts to their own followers.
- Daily reveal: artists, food stalls, the bullock-cart corner.
- Early bird closes → price step-up announcement.
- WhatsApp broadcast to everyone who registered for Bhoomi Pujan.
- Night 1–2 crowd is the marketing: reels, colour-of-the-day contest, best-dressed prizes.
- Mid-week (N3–N5) is the slow patch — "ladies' night" / family-night offers there.
- Referral: 5 friends book with your code → your pass is refunded.
Why the village theme sells itself
Every corner is a reel
Kuvo, gaadu, cows, otlo — people come to shoot, and post for free.
Dada–dadi come too
Nostalgia pulls the older generation — that means family passes, not just youth.
Food is a second ticket
Desi bhanu brings people back on nights they aren't dancing.
Different from techno garba
Surat is full of DJ grounds. "Real gaam garba" is a clear, easy story to tell.
