Rang Taali Garba 2026
2026-03-21 18:30 - 23:00 (Europe/London) | Dhamecha Lohana Centre, Brember Rd, Harrow, HA2 8AX, United Kingdom
It’s time to get Garba ready – mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable experience! The Cultural Collective would once again like to warmly welcome you to our flagship event: Rang Taali Garba! Celebrating 5 years of TCC, this will be our biggest Rang Taali yet. We invite you to join us for Chaitra Navratri 2026 as we look to mark new beginnings with a journey back to our authentic roots by exploring the true essence behind Garba. Truly traditional music? Indian food with a twist? And one night to remember? Expect it all and more.
WHAT?
This year, our charity partner is the very well-known UK-based initiative, Sewa UK. They are committed to working in areas which suffer from humanitarian disasters and tragedies, and help to rebuild devastated communities, with 100,000+ disaster relief beneficiaries and in excess of £5m in total funds raised. For Rang Taali 2026, we are specifically supporting their DREAM project (Dedicated to Reach Every Aspiring Mind) which aims to support the education of young tribal girls in rural India (Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan), who often encounter numerous obstacles on their path to realising their dreams.

What’s more is that all our dandiyas are decorated by some very special children in India working with the NGO, Asha for Education, where all monies have gone towards their education and wellbeing.

EXPERIENCE
If such great causes aren’t enough for you, then rest assured that you can expect homegrown talent from the UK Indian music scene, and that we hope to offer a range of stalls and vendors on the day. Prepare to be captivated by an immersive experience as we aim to transform this event into a rustic atmosphere that resembles a desert or ‘Rann’-like setting.
FOOD
Delicious Indian food – with a hint of East Africa, fresh juices and sweet treats will be available to purchase on the night!

The Cultural Collective team are eagerly waiting to welcome you all to an unforgettable evening filled with pulsating beats, mesmerising performances, and an atmosphere that will ignite the cultural flame within you.
