| | Navaratri Festival Campaign: Modern Garba |
 | | Forcible collection of donation, sound pollution, 'Garba' played on the tune of film songs, the ugly dance performed in drunk state with obscene gesticulation, the significant increase in the number of unmarried mothers after few months of Navaratra are the various mal practices which are the warning bell of declination of Hindu religion and civilization. |
 | | Unscientific: It is necessary that Garba is played with Krushnaleela, songs composed by saints played on the combined tune of traditional instruments; but presently Garba is played on the tune of film songs and the deafening sound of modern musical instruments. |
 | | Garba Organisers lead people into gambling: In some places, there is a practice of awarding a person who purchases entry tickets worth thousand of rupees for playing 'Garba', 'Dandiya/Disco-Dandiya', as a lucky winner, with gifts worth Rupees 5,000 - 10,000/- on lottery basis. |
