About Sharad Ratri
A Celebration Rooted in Meaning
Sharad Ratri is not a ticketed event. It is a private, invite-only cultural celebration created for those who value tradition, beauty, devotion and community.
Hosted in Ahmedabad by Shruti Chaturvedi and Manu Khera, Sharad Ratri brings together a curated circle of approximately 1,100 guests per evening across two distinct nights: Aarambh and Anant.
Now in its third year, Sharad Ratri has grown into a refined cultural gathering — known for its warmth, aesthetics, authenticity and deeply rooted festive spirit.
This is where tradition is not performed for spectacle. It is experienced with grace.

Celebration With Purpose
The Journey
From the First Flame to the Infinite Moon
Aarambh is the beginning. Anant is the infinite.
Sharad Ratri follows the emotional and spiritual arc of the season — from the invocation of the first night of Navratri to the abundance of the full moon on Sharad Poonam.

Night One
Aarambh
The First Night. The First Flame.
Aarambh is hosted on the first night of Navratri, marking the beginning of the festive season. The evening is designed around the energy of invocation, shakti and auspicious beginnings.
The theme for Aarambh 2026 is Red & Gold — symbolising strength, celebration, prosperity and sacred energy. Festive, powerful, intimate. The night where the season begins, where rhythm returns, where the circle forms again.

The Full Moon. The Infinite.
Anant is hosted on Sharad Poonam, the luminous full moon night that marks grace, abundance and the beginning of the winter season.
The theme for Anant 2026 is White & Gold — inspired by moonlight, purity, serenity and timeless celebration. A softer, divine energy: the glow of the moon, the quiet arrival of winter, and the ritual of sharing dudh poha under the full moon.
