Navratri Day 2 If you look at the history of these two dance forms - Garba and Dandiya, both originated in Gujarat, and are performed during Navratri. The reason is that these dance forms are a dramatization (sort of like a mock-fight) of the nine-day battle between Goddess Durga and the demon king Mahishasura, in which the Goddess emerged victoriously. This is what Navratri symbolizes as well - the triumph of good over evil, even if that evil stems from our own cluttered and undisciplined mind.

India’s cultural heartbeat lies in its folk dances — each step echoing history, tradition, and emotion. From the fierce grace of Chhau to the joyous beats of Garba, from the divine rhythm of Lavani to the enchanting Kalbelia, the soulful Bihu of Assam to the spiritual Gaura of Chhattisgarh — every dance narrates a tale of our diverse heritage. Let’s celebrate the rhythm of Bharat that unites us all through art, music, and motion. 💃🇮🇳 #indianculture #folkdance #folkdanceofindia #chhaudance #ga
