Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be swept away by the cultural extravaganza of the year! It’s time to mark your calendars, for on November 10, 2023, the eagerly awaited Rann Utsav—The Tent City—will burst into life. This year’s edition promises to be an even grander celebration, boasting over 400 luxurious tents that will open their flaps to welcome around 500,000 guests throughout the Rann Utsav festivities.

Unveiling The Grandeur Of Rann Utsav
