Rotary SPANDAN is one of the biggest fellowship celebrations of Rotary. It brings together all 29 Rotary clubs of the Varanasi Region and more than 2,000 Rotarians with their families and friends for one festive evening. It blends the colours of Dandiya with the lights of Diwali in a spirit of unity, fellowship and Service Above Self. Proceeds go to Rotary's community service work across the region.

The evening takes place on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, from 6:00 PM at Brick Field, Bhullanpur, Varanasi. It opens with a Durga Stuti by Niharika to the beat of the dhol, followed by the Bollywood band Malaki. Popular singer Shradha Mishra headlines with a two hour live set, and DJ Ron Plays keeps the dandiya floor alive into the night. Anchor Shalini hosts.

Beyond the stage, there's a food festival and craft market across 32 stalls, brand activation zones and an automobile display. There are also dandiya contests, gifts from partners and a lucky draw with a Honda electric scooter as the Super Bumper prize. Each ₹1000 pass includes entry of a male & a female for the full programme.

SPANDAN is presented by Omaxe, with Omega Plus Hospital as Title Sponsor and India Jeweller and Pepsi as Co-Sponsors, along with many of the city's leading businesses.
