The busiest garba is in JP Nagar, the flyover fight, a 2 am queue for stamps.

Good morning. Day three of Navratri, and the colour is red. The garba with the longest guest list is a neighbourhood mandal in JP Nagar, Indiranagar is still forming human chains against flyovers, and the GPO sold out of stamp passports. No protest or bandh is announced for today. Everything below has a time, a price and a button.The BLR Daily desk
