Garba Utsav-2018 20-October-2018Our Upcoming Garba Mahotsav is on 20-10-2018
The word 'Garba' is derived from 'Garbha Deep', a lamp, which is placed inside a perforated earthen pot or Garba. The pot is illuminated by the lamp placed inside it, which represents embryonic life. The folk dance preformed by both men and women on the nine nights of Navratri symbolizes the worship of Goddess Jagdamba(Durga). While the days are filled with devotion towards the deity, the nights are vibrant, wonderful reflecting the festive spirit at its peak. The traditional Garba is a dance form which includes series of steps that include spinning, some hand-clapping and sweeping of the arms.
