6 Garba-Dandiya Events Your Feet Can’t Miss In Mumbai

Work. Garba. Sleep. Repeat. Our only mantra for these 9 auspicious days. Wondering where should you go to play Garba this year? Fikar not, we got you ;)


How to spot a Garba site?

If you spot a Pandal with a statue of Maa Durga throned alongside an extraordinarily decorated Garbo (a diya placed in a small matka with holes). Voila! You’ve found a place to play Garba. Such sites are seen on every other street in Mumbai. Garbo represents warmth and light, it’s a symbol of there being light no matter the darkness

Garba-Dandiya that’ll have your feet not missing leg day at the gym:

A traditional Gujarati dance form called garba is played forming a circle around the Garbo. The circle keeps moving with people going round and round using different steps and a lot of clapping. A few examples of these steps are: 2 garba clap, 3 garba clap, popat, etc. Dandiya is played post-garba, you can say these two go hand in hand. Followed by Garba, another traditional dance form named Dandiya is played. The music needed to dance to these both are the same. Dandiya is played by each person holding a stick in each hand. These sticks are to be diagonally hit against the opposite person forming a sync in the circle.


As exhilarating as it is to play garba, make sure you eat a power-packed small meal an hour prior to it because trust us you're going to need that energy. Lastly, don't forget to shop for eye-catching chaniya-choli if you're a girl and kediya if you're a guy. Blast garba music and immerse yourself in the festivities.


The following 6 events will have you experiencing Garba like no other:

1 .Rangoli Re - Nesco Center, Goregaon (E)
