Pawratri 2026, a pet-friendly Navratri celebration in Mumbai, will bring together Garba music, shopping, and a welfare drive for animals. Organized by the JeevOne Welfare Foundation, this event aims to make Mumbai's festivities more inclusive for pets.

The success of this pet-friendly festival may inspire similar events in other Indian cities.
