Before you head out

A few useful answers.

Is the festival free to attend?

Festival entry and parking are free. Dandiya, the Iman concert, boat rides, and member meals have separate ticket or pass arrangements. Check the relevant booking page before purchasing.

Which ticket or pass should I choose?

Start with Event Passes to compare dates and included benefits. For a single attraction, use the Dandiya, Iman, or Boat Ride links above. Check inclusions to avoid booking the same benefit twice.

Where can I find the puja and cultural timings?

The schedule on this page lists all three days. The Durga Puja page includes the cultural-program flyer and details.

When are boat rides available?

Boat rides are advertised for the October 16–18 festival weekend. Visit the boat ride booking section for available times and details.

Where can I ask about accessibility or other arrangements?

Contact Baybasi through the Join Us page before your visit for questions about access, seating, or other arrangements.
