During Navratri, Gujarat hosts some of the Best Garba events in the country. Garba is a dance style that has its roots in Gujarat, India, and is also a religious and social gathering. Gujarat, a state in northwest India, is home to the communal dance known as Garba. The dance style first appeared in Gujarati villages, where it was (and still is) performed in public areas in the middle of the community with participation from every member. Garba is a social gathering that, like many others in rural communities, contains a religious component.

The world’s biggest and longest dance event, Navratri, features Garba. The Hindu holiday of Navratri, which translates as “nine nights,” honours Durga, the feminine form of God, and her nine manifestations, which range from the violent sword-wielding Kaalratri to the smiling Kushmanda who created the universe. There are numerous methods to mark this event, each specific to the area of India where it is observed. Men and women begin dancing in the evening and go late into the night in Durga’s honour. Being barefoot is a statement of respect for the ground we walk on. The part of the body that touches the sacred mother of all planets, the earth, is the foot. The foot is the conduit through which the earth’s life-giving energy passes through people. The earth is gifted with generative qualities. Another technique to communicate with Devi is to dance without shoes.

Garba is layered with the symbolism of life’s feminine divine and cyclical nature.

Meaning

The dance known as Garba respects worships and celebrates the feminine aspect of divinity. The Sanskrit word garbha, which means “womb,” is where the name Garba” originates. The dance is traditionally performed by ladies in a circle around a garbha deep, a clay lantern with a light inside (“womb lamp”). 

Garba is performed in a circle with devotees in a large number (concentric circles). The circle stands for the Hindu understanding of time. Hinduism observes cycles throughout time. The Goddess is a static symbol in the middle of all of this endless and limitless movement as the wheel of time rotates, from birth to life to death to rebirth. The dance represents how the one thing that doesn’t change in an ever-changing universe is God, who is here represented as a woman (Jagat).
