Bhavaini Bell in the courtyard of Bhavena: Bahuchara Mitra Mandal at Atabhai Chowk in the city is trying to keep folk art alive.

Every year during Navratri, along with modernity, the traditional Garba Raas and Bhavai-Natak also undergo changes. But at Atabhai Chowk in Bhavnagar city, a beautiful effort is being made by the Bahuchara Mitra Mandal to present the ancient modern Bhavai and dramas which are the jewels of folk literature from generation to generation. Bhavai, which has been going on since ancient and modern times, was presented in its original form Every year there are changes in Navla Norta from Raas Garba to Bhavai and dramas performed in the villages. Even today, in some villages of Bhavnagar district, very few mandals and artists try to present Bhavai, which is the true identity of folk culture and the jewel of folk literature, in its original form. Even in today's age of technology, the ancient Bhavai is the first choice for everyone, from children to the elderly. The currency of Bhavai is now becoming extinct during Navratri day by day in the city. Aso Navratri is celebrated every year at the Khodiyar Mataji temple in the Atabhai Chowk area of Bhavnagar city. In this Navratri, along with the worship of Mataji, ancient and modern Bhavai plays are also performed by the members of Bahuchara Mitra Mandal for the last several years.
