Dance for Gujarat

Festivals, the sign of long lasting relationship, a bondage of love, an alternative way for cheers and party time, commemmoration of opaque and blurred images with family & friends shares great eminence in everyones' life. Henceforth, if one talks about festival and forgets Navratri than it can not be tolerated at all. Yes, I am here focussing the Navrata, 9 day enjoyment with worship of BHAGWATI MAA DURGA, a statue of peace, wisdom, happiness and wealth. It's the time to Garba. The city begins celebrating its most awaited festivals of all. I must say if anyone visits Gujarat and remain in Gujarat during this festival and did not watch Garba then it's a complete mesh for him/her. Talking about Garba in Vadodara, must see United Way, Archee and currently latest one coming after 12 yrs, last but not the least of Sandesara group Maa Archee. Garba is not about just playing dandia raas or worship of MAA ADHISHAKTI, for many youths, it is a place more about mingling with the boy friend and girl friend and many other nuisance activities.
Whilst the garba has many advantages which can not be ignored, eve depicts more about the culture of a State or city, portrays the life style of the individual, different tastes of love in terms of food and tradition. However, I would like to raise a question in pordium, will Navratri be successful in maintaining its image during the long term period or it will shed off with time?
Please comment......
