Navratri is a famous Indian Festival that signifies the 9 days of Goddess Ambe Pooja, followed by Garba and Dandiya celebrations. Celebrations in Gujarat and Maharashtra differ slightly from the other parts of the country. It is captivating to watch the people of all age groups dressed up in traditional Attires in complete Gujarati style, i.e., women in Ghagras and the men wear famous kediyu dhoti-kurta.

You might also be gathering your favorite Bollywood and Gujrati tracklist to start dancing with full enthusiasm and pomp. Let’s read out the trending tracks that can keep you going on their beats for the 9 enthralling Navratri nights!

What is Garba and Dandiya?

Originated from Gujarat, these two popular dance forms have gained enormous recognition across national, international borders. After the 9 day battle among Goddess Durga and Mahishasura, the demon king in which the Goddess procured a signifying victory, this festival came into existence. It is mainly the victory of good over evil and how positive vibes can and claps destroy the negativity around to purify and start fresh. 

Garba Dance

Garba is a popular dance traditionally performed with an earthen pot (Garbo), and a lamp inside is also known as a ‘Garbha Deep.’ It signifies the fetus in the womb (Garbo), where the ultimate divinity resides. The thought of keeping it in the center and dancing around in circular movements symbolizes the movement of death and life, circling the divine mother that is invincible and unmoved. 

Moving to the celebration part, the Garba costume is a luminous, sparkling, and colorful outfit, including a Choli, Chaniya, and a wonderfully embellished dupatta. Mirrorwork and gracefully done embroidery in their multihued attire make the aura all the more pulsating and lively. Even the men Kediyu having a full sleeve kurta with frock like patterns at the waist along with kafni pajamas( Pants that taper at the bottom) look vivacious adorning a Gujarati Turban over it. 

Dandiya

Dandiya dance varies slightly from the authentic Garba and is more performance-oriented, where people twirl to the striking beats of table and dholak. It is a splendid way to celebrate the strength of Goddess Durga and is also famous as ‘The Sword Dance.’ The metallic clangs of Dandiya sticks surround the ambiance with a majestic aura that leaves no hearts and no feet aloof from making new moves. It’s a great dance form full of energy, rhythm, and performers prepare for the whole year to participate in Garba Dandiya competitions that reward the best ones. 

Difference between Garba and Dandiya

Garba is more of a devotional dance where conventionally, women perform clap dance on bhajans and chants’ tunes while doing Aarti of the Goddess Durga. Dandiya, on the other hand, is a mega celebration event where folks mesmerize to immerse themselves in the divine festivity of Navratri. 

Above all, both the dance forms add stars to the Navratri festival’s festivity that brings love, devotion, and togetherness in humanity for nine days. People even keep fast for 9 long days and still participate in the dance celebrations every evening with full enthusiasm. The grandeur and resplendent of the Navratri festival remains incomplete without enjoying these art forms.
