CULTURE & COMMUNITY.
For Dr. Ravi Agrawal and the family, faith is shared through Katha, prayer and service. From the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha in 2023 to Shri Ram Katha in 2025–26, these gatherings are part of a continuing cultural life in Nagpur and beyond.
सेवा हमारा संस्कार, धर्म हमारी पहचान और जिम्मेदारी हमारा कर्तव्य।
Service is our culture. Religion is our identity. Responsibility is our duty.

सेवा ही धर्म
Navratri at Chattarpur Farms is Surbhi, central India’s largest Navratri celebration. For nine nights the ground belongs to everyone: thousands of dancers, families and devotees moving to the same beat under one sky. What began as a small community gathering has become a tradition the city waits for all year.
Navratri here is not treated as a date on the calendar. It is nine nights for Maa Durga, a celebration of Shakti, and the garba is danced as a living tradition rather than performed. The nights are meant to keep the young rooted in their own festivals through joy rather than obligation, to remind a full ground of the people who cannot be on it, and to make a chaniya choli, a kediyu or a dhoti something worn with pride.
Through all of it runs a single motto, सेवा ही धर्म — service is dharma. Every pass becomes a quiet act of giving, and over the years the proceeds have gone to the National Cancer Institute, the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Go-Seva for cow welfare, and other charitable and religious institutions working quietly to ease hardship.
