Navratri & Dussehra Invitation Wording — नवरात्रि निमंत्रण for Garba, Golu & Kanya Pujan (Copy & Paste)
By the Ayozan team · · 7 min read
Sharad Navratri (नवरात्रि / નવરાત્રિ) turns nine nights into garba circles, golu displays, and Ma Durga’s aarti — and closes with Dussehra’s victory of good over evil. In 2026, Navratri runs 10–18 October and Dussehra (Vijayadashami) falls on 20 October. Below is ready-to-copy Navratri and Dussehra invitation wording: a Gujarati garba-dandiya night invite, a Tamil golu (கொலு) invitation, a Bengali Durga Puja invite, and a Hindi kanya pujan message, each with romanized transliteration. Any sample below becomes a free personalized card + video invitation on Ayozan — each guest gets their own name, in their own language.
On Ayozan you type the invite once — in English or your own language — and every guest receives it with their own name in their own script: Gujarati for the garba group, Tamil for the golu neighbours, Bengali for the para, Hindi for the kanya pujan list.
Garba & dandiya night invitation (Gujarati)
For the society garba, a community dandiya raas, or a family garba at home — this is the register Gujarati invites use, with the dress-code line guests actually look for.

What makes a Navratri card look right
If you searched for a navratri card design or a navratri greeting card and not just the words: the motifs guests recognise instantly are the garbo — the perforated clay pot glowing with a lamp inside — dandiya sticks, mirror-work chaniya choli patterns, Ma Durga or Ambe Maa with the trishul, the kalash with marigold, and the odd-numbered golu padis (steps) for a South-Indian invite. For Vijayadashami, the bow and arrow and the burning Ravana effigy carry the card. Ayozan’s Navratri greeting cards and Dussehra greeting cards are built around exactly these elements, with your text set in proper Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, or Devanagari type.
How to use these in Ayozan

- Type in English and Ayozan transliterates into Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, or Hindi script — no native keyboard needed.
