MPGI Mandhana, Kanpur
· Garba is the Dance of the divinity!
· Garba is a traditional Gujarati folk dance that honors and celebrates the feminine aspect of divinity.
· Garba is performed during Navratri, the longest and largest dance festival in the world.
· In Gujarat, it is observed with nine nights of dancing as a form of veneration and worship.
· Garba is performed in a circle (concentric circles when there are many people).
· The use of sticks is optional – dandiya is actually playing Garba with sticks!
Women wear a traditional costume known as Chania Choli on the Garba night. It is a three-piece costume decorated with beautiful and colourful beads and mirrors.
Also, to enhance the look, womens wear heavy silver-plated jewellery, sparkling waist belts, maang tika, metal bracelets and jhumkas. As a form of makeup, they apply bold eyeliner or kajal and bindis.
Men can wear a colourful round Kurta and a long shirt to match the outfit with their partner during the dance performance.
The colours of the outfit are usually vibrant and eye-catching, such as red, orange, yellow, or green. However, the overall look is elegant and cultured, perfect for celebrating the festive occasion of Garba night.
