Heeeelllooooo Lovely Readers….
How are you all…? Meeting you after so long, but I was super busy in job and my dance class…. Dance class for Garba only. It is the most favourite festival of mine. Sharing some pictures from that festival celebration here…
So the Famous Dance Festival and the longest dance festival of Gujarat, India is Navaratri ( 9 nights festival ). It is an auspicious festival where people do Durga Puja. And do a special form of dance that is called GARBA all the nine nights.
I am a part of group for playing garba and our group is having more than 50 persons approximate. We all go to different open places for garba and we enjoy it a lot. We dressed up in a complete traditional way, which includes kutchi patch worked Chaniya choli , beautiful pearl worked ornaments/accessories, oxodize accessories and all. We have a big group so we play garba in different style and with different props. We are having lighting traditional umbrella, light lamps , castanet (Manjiras) and Swords (Talvar) as props.
We perform in a group so we all dress up in the same outfit and many a times we won the prizes for that dress or for best performance. We are having all age group members starting from 8/9 years old to approx 45 years old. We all enjoy equally all 9 days.
